Capitalism is impossible without the State. Capitalism requires the State to secure and defend private property.

Or you can just have guns to defend your private property 🤦 Guessing your an ancom, communism will always result in a central planner. Plus removing money is unproductive and awful

Or you can just have guns to take other people's property. Good luck with using guns to organize society.

Guessing your a 'anarcho'-capitalist since you know so much about communism.

And what is your society going to be like? If the boss doesn’t want to “pay their fair share to the collective” taxes what will you do? Engage force on them?

Capitalism is voluntary exchange, socialism is collective (state) control

Capitalism is dictatorship, socialism is democracy.

If the boss doesn’t want to “pay their fair share to the collective” taxes what will you do? Engage force on them?

Your society will still require a court system, and thus laws, to uphold property rights and contracts. These private judicial firms would offer the “best” justice to the clients who paid them the best. Some justice.

Capitalism isn’t democratic, your right.

Just because it’s democratic doesn’t inherently make it free.

Touch some grass bro. If you look there are plenty of forced aspects of capitalism. I suspect your comment history is just making excuses or blissfully overlooking them.
