Capitalism exists in ST they're just post-scarcity and in the backstory it took a ton of shit to get there.
Kinda depends on who's running the show at a specific point. TOS still has characters referring to buying and selling things, but TNG and DS9 pretty explicitly state that money as a concept no longer exists (on Earth) and people just work for their own satisfaction, self-improvement, and betterment of those around them. I think Enterprise backpedals a bit on this but I didn't watch a lot of Enterprise.
