People on NSG always manage to come up with the most nonsensical configuration of political leanings, this being an excellent example.
The logical endpoint of capitalist development is concentration and monopolization, wherever economies of scale allow it. The above post seems to indicate a petty bourgeois mindset that wishes to crystallize capitalism in some sort of romanticized ideal of small businesses everywhere, something that was characteristic of capitalism in its earliest stage - such a wish is doomed to failure, and only by stifling the economic basis of society can you delay the inevitable consolidation that leads to "big business".

What would capitalism look like if there were no special privileges given to corporations, e.g. no personhood, no liability shield for individuals involved? What would capitalism look like without fiat currency and fractional reserve banking?

concentration and monopolization. those things are "part of" capitalism not because of an ideological struggle of how best to run an economy, but because the state, as an organ for bourgeois class struggle, is used to maintain and reproduce capitalism, often through these methods you've mentioned. capitalism without them is fathomable, it certainly used to be the case, but its not any more for real reasons that are unavoidable.

Abolitionism in the North has leagued itself with Radical Democracy, and so the Slave Power was forced to ally itself with the Money Power; that is the great fact of the age.
