Capitalism has nothing to do with transactions. Capitalism would be if the truck was owed by Benny Ohana, who would not show up, not fill it up with gas, not repair it, but would still receive half of pizza and 2/3 of beer.

You are correct that I was not describing capitalism.
I was participating in the silly by creeping closer to full communism and still saying it’s something else.

And I’m not sure why Benny would only get half and 2/3s respectively. They owned the truck, so they’re the one that did the moving. The others are just employees.

I’m pretty sure they were referring to From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs which most definitely is not capitalism lol, it’s a joke
