Hoppeanism

Hoppeanism is the political ideology of prominent anarcho-capitalist thinker Hans-Hermann Hoppe that places a special emphasis on decentralized communities known as covenant communities and the freedom of association (and exclusionary behavior that may be associated with such viewpoint, such as ostracism). The ideology tends to be socially conservative in nature.

Despite being socially conservative in nature, and despite Rothbard's paleolibertarian phase later in life being influenced by Hoppe's views, it should not be confused with Paleolibertarianism, as Hoppe was critical of several paleolibertarian viewpoints and strategies, for instance his opposition to the "paleo alliance" spearheaded by several notable paleolibertarians.

It should also not be confused with File:Pinochetism_icon.png Pinochetism. Despite the memes associated with Hoppeanism, Hoppe and most thinkers associated with him do not actually support throwing people out of helicopters, or any other violent and coercive means of physical removal, instead preferring exclusionary social behaviour.

Views

Argumentation ethics

One of Hoppe's contributions to anarcho-capitalist thought is a theory known as argumentation ethics, which asserts the principles of self-ownership and private property can be derived from the act of argumentation itself. It suggests that engaging in argumentation ends up recognizing certain ethical norms consistent with libertarianism, such as non-violence among the participants, and the ability to act; these norms were named the "a priori of argumentation" by Hoppe. According to Hoppe, to argue against anarcho-capitalism, which he argues is the purest form of self-ownership, is to argue against self-ownership entirely, thus denying the existence of the presupposed propositions of argumentation and denying their own self-ownership in the process. Thus, if one argues against self-ownership, then they're involved in a performative contradiction which empties the argument of its meaning, since argumentation also presupposes the law of non-contradiction.
