Due to contending definitions of the terms 'markets' and 'capitalism' which are not used by free-market anti-capitalists,<ref>Chartier, Gary. Johnson, Charles H. Markets Not Capitalism: Individualist Anarchism Against Bosses, Inequality, Corporate Power, and Structural Poverty. Brooklyn: Minor Compositions/Autonomedia. pp. 60–61. "In order to get clear on the topic in a conversation about 'Free Market Anticapitalism,' the obvious points where clarification may be needed are going to be the meaning of capitalism, the meaning of markets, and the meaning of freedom in the market context... market anarchists have spent a lot of time...the possibility of disentangling multiple senses of 'capitalism'...The meaning of the term is obviously central to any free market economics...Pro-capitalist economists have often suggested such a broad understanding of 'markets' even if they have not fully understood...its implications.

"Later [left-libertarianism] became a term for the left or Konkinite wing of the free-market libertarian movement, and has since come to cover a range of pro-market but anti-capitalist positions, mostly individualist anarchist, including agorism and mutualism, often with an implication of sympathies (such as for radical feminism or the labor movement) not usually shared by anarcho-capitalists."</ref>
Some writers, such as Iain McKay, have been skeptical of this conceptual nomenclature on the grounds that it still leads to misunderstandings about its similarity to anarcho-capitalists.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="McKay2025">Template:Cite web</ref>
