I totally agree with the two ways people can interact with each other:
1) free exchange which is absence of the state
2) violence which is the state
Nowadays both capitalism and politics are part of (have been captured by?) the state (2).
It doesn’t mean everything is bad in capitalism or in politics. The problem is the state.
I would recommend this book for more precise definitions:

Thanks for the book link! Atm reading Rothbard MES, I will be busy for a bit.
For me capitalism is only capitalism without the state. How is politics not bad? politics always means initiation of violence, or to say, politics without violence would be free exchange/contracts of individuals
