pseudo-capitalism

transactional exchanges that replication capitalistic ideology but are not a true exchange of equivalent and exact value. This is most often found within communities of non-strangers that live within a larger capitalistic framework, and as such, borrows it's language and mechanisms

Example cases:
"I'll pay for the gas if you buy the snacks"
"Nah, if you mow my lawn, let's just call it even"
"Don't worry about paying me back the couple bucks, it's more trouble than it's worth"
"Oh, I can do that for you! Pay me back by buying us pizza ahaha"

My neighborhood participates in pseudo-capitalism, and it makes us feel so much more connected
