You're as wrong about capitalism as @anotherneil is about anarchism. You're describing a free market economy, which is only one aspect of (idealized) capitalism. Capitalism is private ownership of the means of production, simply by investment, and the subsequent collection of the proceeds. Money magically making money.

Not only that, but commerce greatly involves human interaction, and ALL human interaction has to be governed by laws and policed to prevent abuse ... like selling rat poison as children's cereal. Because make no mistake, someone will do that if there is a buck to be made doing it.

So this fantasy (lie) that the capitalists are constantly telling about how capitalism is self-regulating is completely false, as is the lie that anarchy is some automatic form of self-governance. And @an anarchist has fallen for both of them.
