Do you have examples of widespread slave economy that did not require a government framework to support it? All examples from modern civilization i can think of involved laws specifically blocking slaves from participating as equals in the market economy, ie anti capitalist?

Regulation is not anti capitalist, it is a necessity for the existence of a market. Zero regulation is not capitalist, it is anarchy.

Which of those modern civilizations do you believe are not capitalist? Are you counting trafficked slave labor today as an example?
