I agree with this.

Well then capitalism only exists in theory, and ancap is [censored] either way. I see no reason to believe you could have a "capitalist" system, i.e. where people sell their labor on the market without the state existing alongside it.

Could you clarify? It seems to me that in a stateless society, there would certainly be a lot less wage labor, but I can certainly imagine there still being some who sell the labor on the market. And theoretically, I see nothing wrong with the idea of X and Y signing a contract in which X does some work for Y, and Y pays him or her a wage? Would this not exist in some forms in a free society?

It could happen, but even if it did it would be radically different than now.. I find it unlikely that anyone would work under a capitalist when the could work in a coop or for themselves. I doubt you'd see any big corporations or such as you do now.

that would be fine by just about every ACer here, as long as people get to voluntarily choose what they do.
