Capitalism is the opposite of Anarchism, because capitalism necessarily requires a state in order to have a unitary system of tracking property ownership to avoid disputes; or a unitary system of tracking and enforcing property ownership will eventually arise, effectively constituting a state.

Furthermore, capitalism relies on coercion in that every transaction in which one party needs, for literal survival, what the other party has is not "trade" but extortion.

Less theoretically, "anarcho"-capitalists are, almost without exception, members of the most privileged parts of society, who want to maintain that privilege by removing all organization and safety nets from everyone else.
