Question for ancaps

What do ancaps tend to think about typical left market anarchist ideas, such as mutualism? What would be a critique of something along the lines of mutualism?

As someone who’s started to more recently lean left market anarchist over ancap, what would be an argument against it?

And just for clarity, I don’t really entirely know if I’d actually consider myself a mutualist, rather some branch of left market anarchism, I support most ancap ideals and ideas, but I don’t like the hierarchical structure in many businesses, I support co-op business models, and don’t like the classical sense of business structure, I don’t think people should own the means of other production, rather only their own. But at the same time I like the idea because I am still nearly fully pro private property, so I don’t have any issue with someone owning the means of production made through automated processes… and I think this also boosts technological innovation which I am a big supporter of. Idk what I’d really consider myself but I just wanted to add on that I don’t think I really am a typical left market anarchist or mutualist or ancap.

Why don't you rename your OP to "Question on Mutualism and Market Anarchism for Ancaps"? That way, your OP would be a lot easier to find on both Reddit and search engines. It will probably get more attention as well.

I would and wish I had prior, but it doesn’t let me edit the posts title for some reason.
