    Like many others, I respectfully call "bullshit" on the premise of this thread. It seems like you are advocating for a world without money, while missing the fact that money is simply the accounting method for our economic system.

    For instance, in a communist system where everyone got vouchers for stuff in equal amounts, you'd STILL need some means of determining the value of goods and services. If I get 10 vouchers, I can get, I dunno, 2 chickens and 3 loaves of bread, but I can't get 500 chickens, because then there won't be enough for everyone else.

    Travel back in time to before there was money. You think the world was a happy peaceful place with people holding hands and no problems? No, it was fucking caveman killing each other with spears.

    Money doesn't kill people, people kill people.
