I don't think your "point" makes much sense. I am an ancap, but I'm also an agorist. I was aware of attempts to characterize agorism as leftwing, but I have never thought it mattered or made much sense at all. If you support property rights then you support hierarchy in one form or another. If someone can own a business & productive machinery, & they can hire people who would be less productive without access to said machinery, then there are inevitably going to be employer/employee relationships. The employees benefit from guarateed pay & no risk of owning & having to properly manage expensive capital. Owning expensive capital will be far more risky in the future because just saving will be far more profitable on average as sound money appreciates. To say employer/employee hierarchies won't exist is to suggest there are no differences in tolerance for risk, which is just delusional. And the ancap definition of capitalism is free enterprise. Capitalism is just the natural state of trade without govt. Your opposition to the word or the way ancaps use it is just a semantic issue. Most agorists are ancaps. If you aren't then it's probably because you are inconsistent & confused by some lingering socialist bullshit in your belief system.
