Call it whatever you want but it is a logical outcome of capitalism.
Capitalism leads to accumulation of capital, capital has a political power, that political power is used to consolidate the capital which leads to further growth of capital...
Nope, logical outcome of capitalism would be decentalized power under private cities and communities. What you’re saying is the outcome of any system that works under an institution that monopolizes power (the government)

And what is the function of government hmmmm?
The capitalism can exist BECAUSE the government can enforce the private property rights via the monopoly on violence.
Government is nothing more but an entity which enforces a certain structure in society with violence.
private cities and communities
Arguably situation would be even worse since those cities would function like governments (monopoly on violence), but they would be much weaker than the capital.
That's not the outcome. That's a mid point. One of those cities is going to outcompete the rest, leading to... that's right, a monopoly of power owned by one or more private individuals who do not answer to the population.
Democratic governments are representatives of the people, they must answer to their will.
What you're suggesting is the exact opposite. Citizens with zero power.
Your argument is essentially that you don't like that you are beholden to the rest of society, and have a power fantasy where you own a city or country like a dictator.
