So you're saying that capitalism is some kind of natural state of being, the basic expression of human nature? Capitalism with large, deep, anonymous markets only arose along with powerful nation-states with a monopoly on force. The default condition is probably what existed before nation-states -- tribalism, feudalism, serfdom, slavery, and roaming gangs of local thugs. Humanity only rises above Hobbes' state of nature through collective action, which inevitably requires some force or coercion. Without that, life is nasty, brutish and short.
