No. Flat out no. There is no competition and they’re literally providing what they are capable of to take care of the others’ need. Mutual aid is not a marketplace and the fact you instinctually thought of it that way tells me you need a book on capitalist realism.

Not all competition is mediated via markets. Mushrooms will compete by injecting themselves into their adversaries using their own internal pressure.

Where in that response did you see the word capitalism. Economics exist outside of your agenda/baggage.

“market place” is a concept of competition in contrast to Kropotkin’s concept of mutual aid
