The economic equivalent of capitalism is often associated with the political ideology of classical liberalism. Capitalism is an economic system based on private ownership of the means of production, where individuals and businesses — rather than the state or government — own and operate industries, trade, and generate profits.

Classical liberalism emphasizes the principles of individual liberty, limited government intervention in the economy, and free markets. It supports the idea of economic freedom, competition, and voluntary transactions among individuals and businesses. Classical liberals argue that the market should be left to regulate itself without excessive government interference.

It's important to note that while some political ideologies, such as socialism and communism, are opposed to capitalism, not all ideologies listed in the question fit this opposition. Republicanism, for example, is a broad political ideology characterized by representative government and the rule of law, which can coexist with capitalism. Anarchism, on the other hand, rejects both capitalism and state authority.
