Ayn Rand have said so much nonsense, all though this quote make sense the real philosopher behind the formulation of Anarcho Capitalism is Murray Rothbard.
The most known creator of Anarcho-capitalism conception is Rothbard - that's true.
Ayn Rand didn't see the way Anarcho-capitalism can work without violence.
This was the imperfection of her point of view.
By saying "Ayn Rand have said so much nonsense" You should explain why You think so.
3 quotes:
"As a human being, you have no choice about the fact that you need a philosophy. Your only choice is whether you define your philosophy by a conscious, rational, disciplined process of thought and scrupulously logical deliberation — or let your subconscious accumulate a junk heap of unwarranted conclusions, false generalizations, undefined contradictions, undigested slogans, unidentified wishes, doubts and fears, thrown together by chance, but integrated by your subconscious into a kind of mongrel philosophy and fused into a single, solid weight: self-doubt, like a ball and chain in the place where your mind’s wings should have grown." Philosophy: Who Needs It, 5
"There are only two means by which men can deal with one another: guns or logic. Force or persuasion. Those who know that they cannot win by means of logic, have always resorted to guns."
"Competition is a by-product of productive work, not its goal. A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others."

Can anyone give any statement about anything not knowing it?
I consider myself an Anarcho-capitalist and still .... I am in favor of Rand's philosophy. I think they play excellent together. Mrs. Rand misjudged Anarcho-capitalism, but on almost every other matter she was right.
I encourage You to read her books. Best order:
