>Are anarcho-capitalists really anarchists?Yes, because anarcho-capitalists believe in the deconstruction of the state and its monopoly of force to make people follow its laws rather than their personal conscience and that conscience alone.
>Why do "anarcho"-capitalists place no value on equality?Because equality in the way left wingers usually understand it is a complete lie and is one of the main ways some have used to force people to live in an atmosphere of bland and ruthless conformity. Anarcho-capitalists do not deny the general equality between human beings. Anarcho-capitalists would gladly defend the rights of a poor farmer from being muscled out of his property from a bigger company or his right to compensation if some spark from a factory lit his barn on fire, no matter how small his property is compared to that of the factory owner. But people aren't cardboard cut-out clones of each other and the vocal proponents of the modern sense of equality generally promote a kind of materialistic sense of equality where people aren't equal unless they all have the same amount of every thing. Anarcho-capitalists believe in an equality of basic human respect and an equality of opportunity, but are not stupid enough to believe there can be an equality of outcome.
>Can there be harmony of interests in an unequal society?YES. Because in the equal society left wingers envision, nobody has any more needs which can only be satisfied by the cooperation or charity of others because nobody is deprived of anything by circumstance or their own individual limitations. Rich people want to make more money, poor people want to make more money, rich people have the money to give, poor people have the labor, you already have a basic harmony right there.
>Will privatising "the commons" increase liberty?Countries with the most amount of privatization and economic freedom generally rank highest in all the quality of life indexes. Even in the United States, where the divide between rich and poor is at unprecedented highs, the poor in this country still enjoy a higher quality of living than probably 80% of the world. Plus, the divide between rich and poor has only gotten worse since privatization has decreased and the government has spent more taxpayers money on bull soykaf . People may use Scandinavian countries as an example of why socialism works, but Sweden, Denmark and Norway are more privatized than the USA, which is usually further down the list of countries with high qualities of living and economic freedom than those three former countries who often occupy the top ten/five. Not to mention Switzerland has high economic freedom, is very capitalist and yet its people are generally better off than the Scandinavian monarchies.
Anarcho-capitalists don't claim privatization will stop all the problems of the world, but that's because there is no such thing as a system that can solve all the problems of the world. Meanwhile, this does not mean anarcho-capitalists are against the idea of common property. Without government pooling the resources of everyone, there is likely to be plenty of unclaimed property and abandoned property. Plus, anarcho-capitalists are not against shared property, but shared property between private owners is not the same as property with "no owner" but where every person is fighting to become the sole owner under the pretense of the public good.
