I have a gun to my head right now, and so do you. Try missing a payment for your phone, rent, or mortgage. If you think capitalist states don't rely on violence and the threat of violence to maintain the social order, you're not thinking clearly.
But "I loathe capitalism" doesn't imply "I advocate communism."
Capitalism and the kind of communism you're talking about are both violent impositions of large and complex legal systems. Why do I need to like either of them?
The world is run by powerful people, and I generally dislike them. It's structured by systems of bureaucratic power, and I dislike those, too.
Libertarians tend to frame capitalism as being equivalent with liberty and freedom, which makes me laugh out loud.

If I took on debt, that means I voluntarily agreed to have a gun to my head. Surely you see the difference.
