Communism is when you get your work done, the output goes to the good of the group. It’s taken by the centralized power, then redistributed.
Capitalism is when you get your work done, you choose to sell or keep the output. Under capitalism, the scenario where someone else owns your work can only happen with your consent. It’s called “contracts”, and the consensual nature of contracts is why it’s called a “free market”.
So, to summarize:
Any questions?
Ok buddy
I'm not sure I would call it consentual when you are strongarmed into a shitty contract because the other option is starving to death.
