you can't separate the actions of the state from the actions of capital
I don’t follow your logic on this point. I agree that there’s collusion. I’m not convinced there has to be.

the capitalists that don't will simply lose to the ones that do. Capitalism is based on the accumulation of capital, whoever does it the most efficiently simply wins out.
capitalism cannot exist without a state, they simply become an extension of each other because of the info above
I don't know about that. I think it's possible to be a moral capitalist. That is, a capitalist who doesn't use violence to gain an advantage. Is it rare? Yes. In fact, it's probably the most rare thing on the planet.
Is it "most efficient" to use violence to gain advantage and win? In a way. But it's at great expense. A capitalist that buys into the status quo and colludes with the state to gain an advantage is selling part of their soul. And I think it's wrong. I don't defend it. But I'm not convinced they go hand-in-hand. I think we just don't see it very often because they sell out.

Like an argentine economist has said that whom do that sort of thing are "empresaurios".

Read Murray Rothbard and get aware that there is an option.
