I’m a card-carrying, money-loving capitalist, lol.

Universal healthcare is not communism…They have that all across capitalist countries in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and even Africa.

Agreed. I'm with you. If one is going to point the "communism" finger at universal healthcare, then you ought to point the same finger at firefighters, first-responders, police, and roads, amongst other things.

You can still be a capitalist and a powerful, centralized, managerial state. That's called fascism.

So I can equate a fully deregulated market-based libertarian society with anarchy?

Unironically, yes. That's exactly how anarcho-capitalists see it. To them, Anarchy just means "no coercion/state", it doesn't mean a lack of structure, delegation or coordination.
