You don't even have to go to that level to know it's all nonsense.
Someone had to pay to put that toothpaste on the shelf.
In capitalist societies, it's the person who provided the capital to the business and what you're doing is repaying that investment when you buy the tube of toothpaste.
In modern socialist societies, you don't have to worry about it because there is no toothpaste on the shelf. Just kidding. You are paying the workers for the labor that went into the production of the toothpaste. In arrears.
I didn't read much past that because I started seeing how we are not working for money or something like that.

My comment was literally the surface level, not the deeper one of economic theory that you gave.
"X means Y". "Really? Then explain this example of X without Y."
