Would the capitalism we currently have be the same in anarcho-capitalism? Corporations wouldn’t exist without government. Legal tender laws would not exist.
That’s already the way the world works today, and violent people will certainly continue to exist, though some of the incentive to be violent won’t exist without the ability to accumulate infinite wealth. But the key difference is the state won’t forbid you from organizing community self-defense as needed.
depends on which anarcho capitalist you are talking to. I know many former ancaps were free marketeers before going more socialist routes like market anarchism and mutualism. Think like Kevin Carson, a former bleeding heart libertarian, now probably a mutualist. These kinds of ancaps would see todays capitalism as a farce of the free market—they dont believe at all that capitalism is a market free of state sponsored racism, oppression, or violence etc. They believe a market free of state sponsored violence (they call current capitalism crony capitalism but whatever) would look more egalitarian.
Capitalism would be completely different under anarcho-capitalism.
I think ancaps are for using dispute resolution organizations to resolve conflicts and for a polycentric law system. Legit cryptocurrencies and legit DeFi could work well in an anarchistic society as a decentralized currency system.
There are no real core ancap theories. Unlike leftists which you can 9 times out of 10 just start with the observations of marx and go from there without necessarily supporting his solutions, ancaps don’t have a core theory they can revolve around which is why often they just stick with the libertarian “non aggression principle” and go from there.
We should be against the concentration of political and economic power. We should try to expand both positive and negative freedoms of the individual as much as possible for as many people as possible.

How do enforce a lack of private property without a state? How do you prevent a capitalist system from sprouting up in socialism without a state?
Same way animals do. You don’t need to enforce something that doesn’t exist in the first place.
If there’s no state to stop me from building a garden on some billionaire’s ranch, private property no longer exists.
How do you prevent someone from not taking ownership of something?
I believe I already answered this? There is no ownership without a state to enforce your claim.
So nothing then. If you want something then you take it, if you are more powerful. That sounds problematic.

It also won’t prevent you from collecting a gang and bullying people.
