Capitalism could exist in a stateless society. You need to separate the statist authorities from your condemnation of capitalism. People have been using capitalism since the dawn of man it's only recently that we've started to notice the political elites at the top of government that have been pulling the strings. It's not the businessmen that create the goods and services that make our lives better that are the problem with society.

People have always traded and often had items that had symbolic value that could be used as money. Capitalism, however, was an invention of just a few hundred years ago in one particular region. It is not universal, it is not that old, and there are many other ways of organizing a society.
