One option is not allowing the concentration of wealth which, I submit, is impossible without a strong state protecting property rights. Another option is some force which holds the abuse of the money interests in check.
I'm not sure how any entity powerful enough to either guarantee property rights sufficiently to allow for this kind of concentration of wealth or to restrain the power of the money interests doesn't automatically count as a state.
Generally politics and government are symptoms of societal problems. I know having to get a permit to add a bathroom infuriates some people, but revolutions are about wealth, not forms of government. At a certain level of iniquity people just say "**** it, I'm not playing this game." The Anarcho part of Anarcho-Capitalism isn't just going to leave the masses saying, "Well, all's fair in Monopoly and life. If I'm broke and don't have toll for the road or the sidewalk, rent for the shanty or the park bench, or a token for the suicide machine I guess legally having no right to be anywhere I'll just will myself out of existence."
