No, in most places where money is used, most people work for money, whether it is under socialism, communism. That's why the people in the are motivated to produce things and actually has the means to get necessicities they don't produce with their own hands.
Capitalism means the fundamental infrastructure required to actually produce and distributed, called capital, like factories and trucks, are to a large extent privately owned and can be bought and sold privately like the products they produce and distribute.
So owning your own business?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
