> Anarchism can be capitalist

Nope. That'd be neo-feudalism, as the super rich will be our defacto oppressive over lords. Anarchism is against oppression.

There are market anarchists, they like markets but in no case they like unlimited wealth accumulation.

There is a significant school of thought literally called anarcho-capitalism:

Nothing significant about that.

The name is simply internally contradictory: as those subscribing to it are okay with oppression by the super rich, it is not anarchism.

They advocate exclusively for property law, by which the super rich can "legitimately" hang on to their fortunes and thus power. While many of them advocate against laws like "age of consent".
