Anarchy is a branch of socialism, whereas autarchy is not. Socialism is always discernible at a single point :- intervention in the economy. The autarchist is content to permit the market-place to make its own adjustments or revisions, if and when they are needed. She/he favors human liberty; believes in property as a total concept, favors moral fulfillment of contracts, and supports profits, rents, and interest without equivocation.
Economic freedom is the implicit right of any individual to own any kind or any amount of property and to unite voluntarily with others for purposes which relate to property in any particular. Impositions by any agency of force, regardless of the end in view, are essentially contrary to freedom. If one believe in freedom, one must believe in economic freedom – full latitude of choice in any and all economic areas, for each person. This can never be accomplished by any procedure, organized or otherwise, which uses violence (even the violence implicit in taxation) to take from an owner anything which is rightfully his.
Support of freedom is essentially support of self-government in all particulars. Freedom is autarchy, and autarchy is self-rule.
