So confused by this because I thought Santa owned that particular means of production by himself.
They give out the products for free for the good of humanity though. I don't know if you can call it private ownership if it's a non-profit.
It's true that it's not exactly capitalist without profit motive, but it's still private ownership since only santa owns the means of production rather than the elves. Just because he doesn't profit from it doesn't mean he doesn't own it.
