Anarcho-capitalists consider that libertarian socialist notions about power, hierarchy, command and obey, etc., are rather childish - they think it is legitimate for individuals to voluntarily enter relationships where one obey the other on some purposes, presumably in exchange of some other service. What they oppose is the means by which some might obtain obedience, by force or fraud, just like they oppose robbery.
Anarcho-capitalists like many things that some utopian anarchists like [William Godwin]? or left-anarchists like [Michael Bakunin]? wrote about individualism. However, They don't quite follow Bakunin in his complete acceptance of Marx's "das Capital". Actually, anarcho-capitalists don't accept the distinction between a "personal" sphere of activity and an "economic" sphere of activity - they only see one sphere, the sphere of Human Action.

What they oppose is the means by which some might obtain obedience, by force or fraud - but this is just like they oppose robbery and racket in general, and has nothing to do with obedience to some orders in particular.

* Bryan Caplan's [Anarchist Theory FAQ]. For fairness, look also for the reply in the (left) Anarchism FAQ.
* Bryan Caplan's article [The Anarcho-Statists of Spain] to see what anarcho-capitalists think of libertarian socialism. For fairness, look also for a reply by Iain McKay? (pointer?)
