This seems like a peculiar statement to me.  There is nothing about
cohousing that is opposed to capitalism, and vice versa.  I've been
a libertarian for years and two other members of our (alas failed)
cohousing group were former officials of the Libertarian Party.
Libertarians would be opposed to government using its police powers
to force people into cohousing, but any contract (formal or informal)
entered into voluntarily by consenting adults, ought to be supported
by a Libertarian.  And the social organization that is a cohousing 
group is a set of informal and formal contracts, much more explicitly
and voluntarily consented to by the members, than in a standard 
neighborhood.
