The word is not what matters anyway. Anarchy to me means voluntarism and peaceful exchange.
Capitalism is just a doctrine of exchange that brings about more capital - i.e. methods of labor saving and wealth production.
To the extent that peace is better for production than chaos capitalists should advocate for my interpretation of anarchy rather than the establishment’s misinterpretation of it - i.e., chaos, violence, destruction, etc.

If you want to define it like that, that’s fine.
But if you are indeed talking about the abolition of government, then you’re talking about the abolition of law. And if you’re talking about the abolition of law, you’re not talking about “peaceful exchange” anymore.

It’s not my definition but countless academics whom have written about it.
Voluntarism implies private law. Anarchy is not lawless.
You really should spend about 10 minutes doing a google search before making stuff up.

I’m not making anything up, I know exactly what you’re talking about.
Regardless of whether or not “countless academics” have tried to redefine the term, “anarchy” means “without law,” or more specifically “without a ruler.” It connotes absolute freedom–which sounds really nice, until you think about what “absolute freedom” is.
And private law is and always has been a formidable contender in the contest for “the worst political idea I’ve ever encountered.”
Edit: actually, I’m not sure if you mean privatized law, which I’ve seen some anarchists support, or private law as in contracts. If the former, refer to my statement above. If the latter, good luck figuring out a contract dispute without government, let alone a murder.
