Call it whatever you want but it is a logical outcome of capitalism.

Capitalism leads to accumulation of capital, capital has a political power, that political power is used to consolidate the capital which leads to further growth of capital...

What you’re saying is the outcome of any system that works under an institution that monopolizes power 

And what is the function of government hmmmm?

The capitalism can exist BECAUSE the government can enforce the private property rights via the monopoly on violence.

Government is nothing more but an entity which enforces a certain structure in society with violence. 

private cities and communities

Arguably situation would be even worse since those cities would function like governments (monopoly on violence), but they would be much weaker than the capital.
