You see that in the capitalism-power-process the power can shift to someone offering better product snd everything in that process is free, voluntary and without force? See how fast Nokia got ‚killed‘ by Apple? Nice peaceful power-shift to the one player with the product the people/market wants more. See that Meta has to peacefully offer money to Instagram to buy it? Nice way, better than fighting and killing people… don‘t you think? You just named the main problem in your post: Government. For me it’s the exact opposite of anarcho-capitalism/freedom.

I agree. And I don't like governments either. But I think it is a question of balance of power. As long as competition is actually free, this can happen. But there is a shift when one actor get enough power to kill the competition. I think governments/states have played a role in maintaining competition in some areas with antitrust laws, and have also killed it in other areas. I just don't see how private justice could be as effective at balancing power and limit its concentration in an anarcho-capitalist world.
