Why are people so affraid of anarchy?

Because there would be no mechanism for redressing breach of contract except taking your business to another company which may well do the exact same thing. In the meantime, the patient's still dying.

Because the more money you have, the more you're able to invest, and the more you earn, meaning you've got more money to invest, meaning you earn more ...

And that is greatly simplified.

If I start my own business which turns out being super successful and I make a lot of money, and then I invest that money wisely, and make more money... how is that bad for poor people? Again, it seems like a freedom thing. A person should have the legal right to make money and use that money wisely as to get more money out of it. I don't see what it is about this that is unfair. What exactly am I missing?

I've heard of objections to what people call crony capitalism.  The knowledge I have on that is very vague but I think it involves things such as giving donations to people in the government who might help them in some way.

Companies in the past have given money to science labs to present research as favorably as possible for their product, I think this happened with tobacco.

But for situations like people having more money that other people, that's not a bad thing in itself.  People sometimes work harder than other people, take lucrative risks, some people want to give their children a lot of the money they've earned.  That's not fair to the children who didn't get anything off their parents, and it's not fair on the child who got money but got less money than someone else off their parents.  But I think there's a level of unfairness in a lot of outcomes that are acceptable.
