You ancoms have created an imaginary definition of capitalism. You are fighting a straw man.
Capitalism is a system in which individuals own and control property.
Functionally, capitalism is the process of accumulating wealth. Saving your wealth in gold, bitcoin, or property is the essence of capitalism.
If you believe you have a right to hold your Bitcoin and Monero, you are in fact a capitalist. You are accumulating capital to be exchanged for consumer goods.
You are free to create syndicates, but your syndicates will be engaging in capitalism with other capitalists. That is, unless you think you are capable of preventing others from engaging in capitalism, which would make you two things: a tyrant, and dead.
Go ahead and zap me all of your money if you truly think you are not a capitalist. If you are truly an anarchist, you cannot prevent capitalism from arising. Capitalism would easily outcompete this strange, oxymoronic system.
The idea that organized companies would be replaced by disordered associations is foolish. What kind of disordered association of contractors would build assembly lines? How would they organize this? Would every worker be of equal skill, or would a hierarchy of skill arrange itself to closely resemble that of the most efficient and profitable companies? Should an assembly line worker with 3 months of experience have any say in who the association associates with? Or should that decision be left to a council of individuals who are most skilled and knowledgeable?
I think your positions illustrate a gross misunderstanding of what capitalism actually is.
