Thanks for the book link! Atm reading Rothbard MES, I will be busy for a bit.
For me capitalism is only capitalism without the state. How is politics not bad? politics always means initiation of violence, or to say, politics without violence would be free exchange/contracts of individuals

Ah so yes, capitalism without the state 👍🏻 As long as the state is out of the picture, we are good and have a chance to witness spontaneous order 😉
Modern politics are what you re describing. Plato would say politics is the art of soul-healing for the entire polis (city).
The state uses a lot of euphemisms to describe its violence while twisting the meaning of important words (like capitalism or anarchism). We, the people, need to agree on the definition of these words before starting a conversation which makes the public debate complicated at best.
