That's not true, it is the case that you won't get any money if you don't work it capitalism but there is no link between the amonut you have to work and the money you get.
A farmer in Africa will work his entire life and will remain dirt poor for his entire life, no matter how hard he works.

from your example i mean:
a farmer in africa who works more would get more than his neighbour farmer who works less..

But they'd both be desperately poor. And you can be sure that there will be somebody buying the coffee/sugar/tobacco they produce, selling it on for much more and living a life of luxury even though they produce nothing. The bourgeois (that's the group of people at the top of a capital economy, the ones wh oown the factories and companies, and who make huge amonut of cash) produce nothing, but live off the back of those who work for them.
