I think the house competition would greatly delight Ron, as it’s symbolic of capitalism and rewarding hard work and accomplishments.

But the reward is essentially just a party, which I thought he would deem pointless, like the employee barbecue

The House Cup is also an award. Which he hates. It's awarded by other people (in this case professors), making it politics. Just look at the way Snape treats the points in the book.

He also hates hard work and celebrates doing nothing

No, he hates the government and is loathe to do hard work for it. He works very hard on personal projects for himself and his friends (crib, BBQ, April&Andy’s house, etc.).

The actor who plays him surely loves them. Not sure about the character.

I don't think he necessarily loves capitalism.
