Read the works of David Friedman, the leading proponent of Anarcho-Capitalism. He holds that all functions of the state would better be handled by the private sector.Capitalism cannot exist without a state, but the state can exist without capitalism. Capitalism is merely an extension of the state, the terms crony capitalism, or corrupt capitalism are therefore redundant.

Capitalism cannot exist without the state to enforce and govern said property rights, to determine the value of capital and guarantee the value of a currency. The simple of accumulation of valuable items doesn't define capitalism alone, other wise penguins who collect pebbles for their mate would be considered capitalists. Neither does the simple affirmation of property rights without collective enforcement and rule of law, anymore than a dog marking his territory on a fire hydrant makes it a property ownerThe state is not the same thing as a government. A state is an institution of force, or the combination of governance and force.
Going over the etymology of the word, the concept of capitalism was originally defined as 'pertaining to the usage of capital' in the 1800s. Today, capitalism is commonly defined as the existence of capital and the affirmation of property rights. Those things can absolutely exist without the state.
That's true but the term free market is a bit of a misnomer, since it doesn't mean "a market free of government interference." as its often used. In fact the opposite is true, the government needs to exist in order to prevent benefits gained from monopolies, or economic privilege.Often a capitalist society is conflated with a free market, which is not correct.

Of course capitalism exists without government. There are numerous examples of this throughout history.Capitalism cannot exist without a state, but the state can exist without capitalism. Capitalism is merely an extension of the state, the terms crony capitalism, or corrupt capitalism are therefore redundant.

Add into the fact that a society without government is a unstable one
our country is based on natural law wherein people are naturally capitalist, i.e, they naturally engage in free peaceful voluntary economic and social relationships. Our founders formed our govt to support natures law or Gods law. So govt is an extension of nature from Aristotle to Jefferson. Welcome to your first lesson in world history!!. Capitalism is merely an extension of the state,
thats getting into "gang turf", clanism, and subversive paramilitary governments existing inside of a stateThat's true but the term free market is a bit of a misnomer, since it doesn't mean "a market free of government interference." as its often used.

Add into the fact that a society without government is a unstable one that is highly violent...Etc Somalia. Government is a very important element to a successful economy.

As usual you have it completely wrong. Society with government is unstable. You would think thousands of years of proof, would make it evident.That's true but the term free market is a bit of a misnomer, since it doesn't mean "a market free of government interference." as its often used.

I believe organization is beneficial in any sort of society. That's why I am a big fan of platformism, which might as well be called government.
Okay. As you know, statists don't know what that means and what they consider government is never good.
