A marketplace, of sorts

[–] kay@lemmings.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No. Flat out no. There is no competition and they're literally providing what they are capable of to take care of the others' need. Mutual aid is not a marketplace and the fact you instinctually thought of it that way tells me you need a book on capitalist realism.

There's no competition between trees? Hmm...

Not all competition is mediated via markets. Mushrooms will compete by injecting themselves into their adversaries using their own internal pressure.
