This is a perfect example of exchange fetishism, capitalists see money and exchange as completely separate from production. The monkeys get money to buy food which they don't even have to produce.
All examples of "exchange is natural" only work if production is excluded first. Another common example used is of prisoners of war who got packages from the red cross and then started trading coffee and tea cause everyone had the same ration.

I didn't read the paper, but probably to show monkeys can abstract value (a coin by itself is worthless, it only has value because some idiot researcher is willing to trade it for a delicious grape) and whether they behave like us.
It has nothing to do with capitalism. The monkeys had coins, not banana plantations.
Also while no monkey had bought sex with money before they do it with food.
Yes, apes are smarter than monkeys. Nobody said anything to the contrary. Koko for instance has an Autism Level between 70-90, although she's of course way smarter than your average gorilla.
Regarding brain size, you can use it to compare the intelligence of similar species (e.g. primates, where apes have larger brains than monkeys), but you can't compare different species since the brains are too different (you can do very coarse comparisons by accounting for body size though). So while you can compare different breeds you can't compare a dog and a cat.

IF we try communism again in america how many americans go to the gulags until we get paradise?
everyone outside of the rich liberal areas? That sounds like the kind of equality they want.
