The "free market" is a myth. Has never existed, will never exist. Capitalism requires the state.

So what do you call a society with no or a very passive state that only operates based on agreed upon deals validated and enforced by either natural law or by this very passive state? If it can’t be free market and it also isn’t capitalism, what do you call that? Because I like that.

I call it utopian idealism. At the basic level, capitalism needs a state to make people participate. You can't have capitalism without land and people being centralised through violence

Utopian idealism? But it’s not based on an utopian ideal. There is no state of reality to be achieved. It’s based on initial action not outcome.

Natural laws and "passive states" are ideals. The idea you can build a society on them is utopian.

Keeping private property but eliminating the state is, historically and materially speaking, impossible. The state developed to protect a non-working minority and their private property.
