anarco-capitalism = free market

crony capitalism != free market

I use the term capitalism to describe the anarco flavor. Capitalism is defined as the private ownership of production, and when this idea is adhered to rigidly you end up with something exactly like or closely approximating the anarco-capitalist flavor.

> in the modern world, capital owners have a disproportionate influence on law-making to subdue this power.

You're right. It's abhorrent but this is not capitalism, this is a mixed economy (state capitalism or crony capitalism) in which firms use government to buy influence over the marketplace. I am not advocating for that.
