They don't create Capital.
They are what is known as self-sufficient. Capital is the opposite of self-sufficiency. It is a dependence on an outside economy.

Here is the part that really presents you a problem.

When they created anything, they owned it and whatever value you might assign to it 100%.

Do you know what "typically" means?

Capital

a stock (see STOCK entry 1 sense 1a) of accumulated goods especially at a specified time and in contrast to income received during a specified periodalso : the value of these accumulated goods

And I see you chose to ignore the point in favor of arguing semantics. The point is you have to work to create value. Either you don't take advantage of economy of scale and work your ass off for a lower quality of life, or you decide to get a job so you can buy these things doing less work than you would have to doing it yourself.
