+ = anarchist/voluntaryist
+ Block+ DiLorenzo? French? Gordon? Herbener? Higgs -> + confirmed+ Hoppe+ Hulsmann+ Kinsella? Klein+ Long+ Murphy? Raico? Salerno? Thornton+ Tucker+ Woods
For some of these that I gave a '+' I haven't seen a confirmation but I don't see how they couldn't be.
EDIT:
? Boettke -> + confirmed
I know Higgs, Thornton, Salerno, Boettke, and Klein are Anarcho-Capitalists and I'm pretty certain French and Gordon are as well.
My personal Anarcho-Capitalist flag. The symbol in the center stands for "harmony" and "protection"-- I'm hoping to illustrate the bond between order/justice and anarchy.
Everyone on that list are anarchists, including Boettke.
As far as I know, the only non-anarchists are Garrison and Reisman.

I can't imagine Raico not being an-cap.
To paraphrase Marc Faber: We're all doomed, but that doesn't mean that we can't make money in the process. Rabbi Lapin: "Let's make bricks!" Stephan Kinsella: "Say you and I both want to make a German chocolate cake."
How did you learn Higgs, Thornton, Salerno, Klein and Boettke are anarchists?
In Higgs introduction (or forward) of Aganist Levithan he writes out his progression. Though, if i remember correctly he doesn't fully say that he is an An-cap, instead he says how he started as a small-gov but the more he read the more he realized.

Nielsio:How did you learn Higgs
Higgs just wrote this recently and it was a wonderful pleasant surprise to see such an article in "Thefreeman" . This should remove any doubts about Higgs:

Ah; that clears it up and greatly so!

I've wondered about this.

Where did you guys find out that Boettke is an anarchist?

See his latest post on Coordination Problem. He doesn't specifically say he's an anarchist, but if you read this closely you'll see that he certainly suggests it. But, Boettke is very careful with his language, and it's probably to remain a serious contributor to a variety of academic journals outside of the Austrian circle.

Ok, that seems a confirmation; particularly when he calls it his 'new favorite site'.

Here is a three-hour discussion with Higgs on BookTV/CSPAN-2 from a year ago.
If I remember correctly callers were asking how various things would be handled without the State. I'm not sure if he says outright somewhere in it that he's an anarchist, but it's quite implied.
Edit: In response to a caller, from about 0:45:00 - 0:47:00, he states it as clearly as one can without actually using the word.
Edit II: I got sucked into watching this. Around 1:19:55 he states how his view of the role of government verges on its evaporation completely.
Le Master: If I remember correctly callers were asking how various things would be handled without the State. I'm not sure if he says outright somewhere in it that he's an anarchist, but it's quite implied.
Furthermore, if it's worth anything, I've talked to him personally at Cato University and he implies his anarchism in Crisis and Leviathan.
EDIT: IIRC, at Cato U. he said that he made the full transition to anarchism only recently.

Unless he is a Randian minarchist.

I don't think he is a Randian. I think we need to interview this fellow!
Oh snap, I just learned that as early as 2003 Penn Jillette called himself an anarcho-capitalist. Who knew!
Q: How do you define your politics and where did they come from?
A: I guess libertarian is a little too much government for me. I tend to be a little more anarcho-capitalist. But I will take libertarianism to get that in place, then work to get that out of place. I see libertarianism as a stepping stone.
I believe that people are really, really, really good, and that the number of people who do actual bad things is so insignificantly small, that we don't need to treat everybody as criminals just to stop them.
Yet people are so scared - a lot by the media and a lot of incorrect knowledge. They think they are some sort of one good person surrounded by all these bad people, and they're actually one good person surrounded by a lot of good people.

Does anyone know what year of birth Doug Casey, Jeffrey Tucker and Gene Calahan have? (it's for the archives on my site)

Nope. I suppose you could email them, however.
Interesting tidbit, both Penn and Teller are Fellows at Cato.

Does anyone know if they are Austrian? They are ancap for sure.
