Some people do argue that anarcho-capitalism is the only valid form of capitalism.

Yep. AKA a government. Though obviously a really bad one.
I don't understand how some people seem to not understand* that, if governments are evil, they're not even just a necessary evil, they're an
inevitable one. Pretending it can be abolished is the most guaranteed way to enable the worst possible forms of it.
The only way around it would be for all of humanity to revert back to small-scale groups and settlements of one or two hundred people. It's not something necessarily impossible, and it's not an inherently good or bad possibility, but it's obviously not even close to being close to being attainable in any desirable way in any foreseeable future.
* And I do wonder: Do they actually not understand it?...
