The name Divine Anarcho-Capitalism does two things instantly: it makes curious people lean in, and it makes everyone else jump to the wrong conclusions.

Let’s clear this up:

• No, it’s not a religion.
• No, it’s not just Rothbard with branding.
• No, it’s not a corporate free-for-all.

“Divine” Doesn’t Mean Preacher, Priest, or Prophet

The “Divine” in DAC isn’t about gods, churches, or holy wars. There’s no clergy, no sacred texts, and no demand that you kneel to anything but reality.

Here, “Divine” means universal. Immutable moral principles every functional society rediscovers:

• Don’t kill.
• Don’t steal.
• Honor consent.
• Keep your word.

Not because some book said so, but because societies that ignore them collapse. DAC bakes those principles into its core — not as laws you “obey,” but as rules the system enforces equally on everyone, automatically.

Anarcho-Capitalism — But Not Rothbard’s Version

Yes, Murray Rothbard coined “anarcho-capitalism,” and his vision of voluntary exchange and private property was a hell of a start. But DAC isn’t Rothbard 2.0.

Rothbard’s version left the door wide open for corporatocracy — private monopolies, cartel behavior, and economic empires that act just like a State, only without elections. DAC slams that door shut.

How?

Enforceable Morality — Fraud, coercion, and aggression aren’t just illegal — they’re impossible to get away with in the network.

No Special Privileges — There’s no State to hand out charters, subsidies, or monopoly protections. Corporations don’t get a leg up; they live or die by voluntary trade.

Reputation as Currency — Power flows from trust, not from buying influence. Lose trust, lose business. No lobbying, no regulatory capture, no “too big to fail.”

Neither State Rule Nor Corporate Rule

This is the part socialists and communists need to hear: DAC isn’t “let the corporations run everything.” In fact, it’s the opposite — it removes every mechanism corporations use today to consolidate power.

Without the State:

• No bailouts.
• No legal shields for corporate crime.
• No patent monopolies hoarded to crush innovation.
• No war profiteering contracts.

Every business, from a global trade network to a corner bakery, competes on the same playing field: consent and value exchange. You screw people over, you’re cut off.

The DAC Perspective

DAC is post-ideological. It’s not left, right, capitalist, or socialist. It’s a framework where markets exist without monopolies, morality exists without religion, and cooperation exists without coercion.

It’s not about who sits on the throne. It’s about removing the throne entirely.
