Being an anarchist capitalist really just stems from having a different definition of anarchism than most anarchist denominations (I'm not one btw, I've just spent a lot of time speaking to different types of anarchists in the past).

Raging libertarian

One gratifying aspect of our rise to some prominence is that, for the first time in my memory, we, ‘our side,’ had captured a crucial word from the enemy . . . ‘Libertarians’ . . . had long been simply a polite word for left-wing anarchists, that is for anti-private property anarchists, either of the communist or syndicalist variety. But now we had taken it over...

Many still use the term "Libertarian Socialist" to specify they mean libertarian in the original sense.
