It's a massive error to conflate capitalism and commerce like this. Capitalism describes a specific structure of organizing ownership of productive resources and allocating their surpluses.
Capitalism is not the only thing that exists nor is it inevitable. It's not hard to imagine systems with property and trading that use another method of allocation. In fact such systems do exist both in history and currently.
