I think we can agree on what constitutes capitalism while disagreeing on how best to throw off its chains. I'm not a fan of discounting anarchists' disdain for the state itself, nor for Marxists' belief in revolution, at least not while capitalists maintain control
Anarchists already don't agree with some Marxists. Some Marxists identify capitalism with markets. Anarchists tend to distinguish markets and capitalism, and admit even if they are anti-market themselves that:
I'm well aware. I personally am anarchist. This is supposed to be a unifying space though, so I'm not sure I want to focus the points of contention
That's fair. I thought discussing what the differences are would be useful to enable clearer understanding of each other. Often, people tend to talk past each other
