That's not capitalism, that's just a market.

It's only capitalism when one monkey owns the means of production and starts paying another money a wage while taking the wealth they produce.

It would be really interesting if the scientists gave all of the monkeys a huge supply of walnuts, and one of the monkeys a tool to open walnuts. Would the monkey share the tool when it was finished opening walnuts? Charge the other monkeys to use the tool? Would the other monkeys beat the shit out of them and share it?

Orangs do that. One Orang is collecting food and giving to to another Orang building a bed from leaves.

Why? Because the first Orang is better at collecting food and the second at building beds.
