Theoretically, pure capitalism and pure communism are precisely the same thing - a completely anarchic state (both of these are entirely fictional because power vacuums will always be filled, much like the laws of physics). The key difference is that the capitalism perspective is somewhat realistic in what actually happens in an anarchic state (which is Warlordism, private armies) where as the communist perspective is completely detached from reality (believing that everyone will freely share and work together peacefully lmao).
To add to that, the so-called "ancaps" are just as moronic as communists in believing such a state is possible without warlordism occurring.
Not really because popular revolts (ie: in U.S due rising inequalities), or left leaning voting are part of the natural system too. You ignored this point.
When the wealth and power belong to the same individuals this is just ending into reckless authoritarianism: Like in Russia or China.
For what we know about all this in Europe (and we have some experience):
- Vote for non-extreme, competent, representative citizen who will defend the governement institution against: right & left wing Populism, lobbies & corruption.
- Have these representative citizen in sufficient numbers by providing minimal welfare & education. Reduce inequalities to limit corruption power.
This is not communism, this is the best system we have. Guess what happen in the long run if you remove minimal welfare & education. Wealth and power concentration, then corruption.
