There are two ways of looking at our life. One way is to look at whether something is comfortable to one, whether it disturbs one's peace of mind and whether one needs it. This doesn't keep an accounting of what one person did to another, whether one owes something back etc. This is the way babies look at life. They do not understand that mom is busy. If a baby needs something, the baby howls expecting immediate attention.
The barter mechanism, on the other hand, looks at exchange of goods and services as the mechanism to address deals between people. This doesn't consider one's needs or pains as the primary factor to deal with people.
"I have constraints, so i cannot help you. I have needs, so you have to help me" is the way babies deal with the world. Not just babies. Any adult too, when overwhelmed by pain or desire, acts exactly the same way. This is nothing but communism in action.
Focus on pain and desire forms the basis of communism (and Venusian traits). This is also the baby or Child state.
Focus on responsibility forms the saturnine trait, which is the Parent state.
Focus on Laissez-Faire is being in the Adult state. Playing Games as per Game Theory seems to be a combination of Child-Adult started strictly excluding Parent state.
