Since no one is spelling it out for you.

Commerce is just one caveman trading sea shells with another caveman.

Capitalism is when the caveman with the most shells becomes a ruler over the other cavemen that have less.

Wow. Good luck building your stick cabin in the woods all by yourself and growing and foraging all your food because you refuse to trade your labor for produce from a farmer because that would be evil commerce.
