There's nothing anti-capitalistic about regulating companies and markets. We regulate everything we do from medical care and certification at birth through education, marriage/civil partnership, employment and death but regulating these things doesn't mean we are against them. There's nothing special about Capitalism or the operation of markets that should make them exempt from operating under the rule of law. Capitalism isn't about regulation any more than marriage is about marriage certificates.

Have a look at the first paragraph of the Wikipedia definition of capitalism (or all of it, it's very good). That definition applies to the owner of a bookstore that buys books and sells them to the public as much it does any shareholder or director of a public company such as Amazon. That's what capitalism is. If you are using it to mean something else - some other different more narrow or specific kind of business activity that your disapprove of - please state it or come up with your own new word for it and what you offer as an alternative.

If you have no problem with the private bookstore owners owning their own businesses, for example, but want to restrict some other types of activity involving earning money from the employment of capital, then what you are advocating is extending the (existing) regulation of capitalism. Not getting rid of capitalism or substituting something else which you have yet to mention. In which case, please feel free to be more specific.
