Yes, I am a former anarcho-capitalist. I eventually abandoned it and embraced a mushy moderate ideology.
I've gone through several isms, but I am done with isms now.
In truth though it is a matter of degree. I started out on the left, went libertarian, then moderate, and now I am done worrying about subscribing to a particular label. In general anything beyond that has been nuanced and a matter of degree. When I was on the left I fluctuated between conventional American liberal and socialist democrat, as a libertarian I drifted between Hayekian classical liberalism, minimal statism, and anarcho-capitalism several times in the course of the roughly five years I considered myself a libertarian.
But broadly I've only really had four main phases, my left phase, my libertarian phase, my moderate phase, and now my post-labeling phase.
Correct me if I'm wrong nucklepunche but didn't you say that in the past you were a Libertarian?
