Capitalism, in the sense of the real world system for whom the term was coined by its critics, relies centrally on the State to create an enforce a particular model of property rights to serve the interests of the capital class, from whence the system gets its name.
However. “capitalism” is sometimes used as a name for orientation toward something that is not that real world system, which isn't particularly coherent (because it was created after criticism of the real world system almost entirely for the purpose of “No True Scotsman” rebuttal of arguments against actual existing capitalism.) One of the consistent features of this somewhat amorphous construct is opposition to (and, indeed, ascribing every observed problem to the existence of) the State.
