Anarchapulco

Anarchapulco is an annual anarcho-capitalist and voluntaryist conference held in Acapulco, Mexico. It was founded by Canadian-Dominican activist and entrepreneur Jeff Berwick in 2015.[1][2] The term is a blend-in portmanteau of Anarchy, its based society, and Acapulco, the city, hence the name.
