    In a communist society, say Soviet Russia, were the goods for a train really exchanged?

    Like yeah, the ore comes from the mine, gets smelted, coked, forged, brought to another factory for machining, another factory for assembly.

    So does it fulfill the definition requiring exchange of goods? I argue not, The goods were transported, but the ownership remained with the government.
