This is why communism is a stateless, classless society. The classless part is important, because when you have property relations that give rise to class, a state inevitably appears to enforce those property relations one against the other.

Communism doesn't necessarily need to be achieved through statism, except that statism already exists via the bourgeois state. Communism isn't about enforcing equality of outcome, it's about formulating the necessary material conditions for statelessness.

There is a wealth of communist theory post-marx, not all of which relies on the utilization of authoritarian measures to achieve the goal of a communist society. Richard Wolff, an American Marxian economics professor, for example, advocates for achieving socialism voluntarily.

Interesting enough, you might not know this, but Marx himself was a proponent of the free market. But for Marx, it was the disruptive element of the market which accelerates the contractions of capital that makes is good. Prof. R. Wolff says form cooperatives in the free market.

If and only if the "anarcho" part is legitimate, then yes, it would result in the collapse of actual capitalism. The problem is that when you must set up enforcers of property relations, you end up with de facto statism. Great for property owners, enslavement for everyone else.

Having a choice between bosses isnt freedom. Being forced to live under economic rulership of the bourgeoisie isnt freedom. Just like voting for a different head of office, switching bosses doesn't make you free.

Ultimately it would be better if resources were shared equally according to need and nobody would have to work since production would be fully automated and based on need. Corporations are the equivalent of a centralized government limited to their own institutions.

Imagine though, if property hadn't been historically obtained through violence and oppression, then you'd have a more cooperative economy. In fact, early on people were organizing voluntarily to share their resources but the state came in to enforce capitalism for the few.

And economic oppression for the rest. If that hadn't had happened, if your more pure anarchist capitalism would've initially taken root, then the natural social proclivities of humans would've inevitably lead to a more cooperative economy.
