    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:

    • work, have product taken by boss = communism
    • work, have product purchased by boss = capitalism

    Any questions?
