| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1281573 03/25/2011 01:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hi everyone, I am starting a discussion thread for those interested in this concept. All advancing worlds at some point give it up, as it is a tool that is not just for "trade" but also how the greedy ones control and enslave people with it. I talk to people who can't even comprehend the idea. And before we get started, living without money doesn't mean you have to personally go trade with somebody for what you need. Quoting: Nobody in ParticularI think we should create a society without loser idiots like you. The only reason a life without money appeals to you is because you are a loser. You like to day dream about getting all kinds of shit for free - since there's no money and all you think everyone will continue to go to work and bust ass to give you shit for free. Why don't you wake the fuck up and join the real world? Learn that everyone serves others and those who do it most effectively gain the most in return. Until and unless you learn to serve others like everyone else, you will continue to be a fucking loser. You are blind. The only reason you like living in a world with money is....I can't think of a good reason. |

Where I come from we also have no copy protection on information. Yes people do file for the right to be a owner of a particular work but anyone can use that work. It's set up like an open software distributor. It's actually a lot of fun and benefits science by allowing data to flow into the hands of creative children. Also we have machine shops so that if a person wants a car they can go into the shop and workers will help them build what ever car they want. If you want a shirt workers will make you one. The key was we had almost no government. We had no jails. For real and we had no visible taxes because uncle Sam owned everything. It was just like going to school for the rest of your life. How well you did depended on how well you could cooperate. People who did not were sent to a thinking room and could leave at any time provided they'd behave. It only requires one thing, a special mind device that records your every though. If you are going to become a nut case they can see it on the screen while your thinking about it. So the murders are often stopped before they ever leave the minds eye. Thats all I remember just now. |

Quoting: Nobody in ParticularI really think its the way of the future but for now money works. Its just a matter of making it work for us rather than TPTB 'Whence do you come, slayer of men, or where are you going, conqueror of space?' The soul answered and said, 'What binds me has been slain, and what surrounds me has been overcome, and my desire has been ended, and ignorance has died. In a [world] I was released from a world, [and] in a type from a heavenly type, and (from) the fetter of oblivion which is transient. From this time on will I attain to the rest of the time, of the season, of the aeon, in silence.' |

JAst as a hammer, another tool, can be used to build or to destroy, so it is with money. A lack of food causes malnutrition/starvation, not lack of money. Power nations have no money, they have debt. So money does not equal power. If one man deposits $1000 per day into a bank, and another consumes $1000 in value in goumet food daily, which one hogs more resources? Where is the greed here? Civil societies evolve. Evolution involves the atrophy of sstems and methods that are not effective, that do not improve the human cindition. Systems and methods that are effective are utilized. Currency (what we call money) is used by virtually all civil societies today. Most anti money folks' real problem is not that money exists, but WHO possesses it. |

Many of the residents have nothing to do, lay about all day and call the city to pick up their trash. Join the real world, come out of the "IF ONLY' world |

One cant have a society without values. IT's just that simple. It is not negotiable In your self centered, lazy teenage dreams you want to be as valuable as someone who actually is productive, an so you have to get rid of the physical measure of it so you can claim some equivalence simply for sucking in air. Curiously enough Loughner the AZ shooter asked the same question as you on another site and I told him he was crazy and should seek help. For you, I dont see you as crazy, just lazy. |

The funny thing is, you all can't even imagine living in an environment where the will of another (your employers) completely and always supercedes what you want. Does this make sense to you? Can you start to see where the boundries of your slavery lie? |
| Manu-Koelbren Shalom. User ID: 28993937 12/04/2012 05:02 AM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've wondered if it would be possible to have the basic necessities--shelter, food, water, electricity--provided free and then we work for the extras. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1124291I don't mean a free mansion. I mean if you have 2 children you get a 3 bedroom 2 bath home to live in. The house wouldn't belong to you, but what really does anyway? We pay and pay for property that can be taken on a whim so we actually own nothing. Anyway, the house would be for you to live in for as long as you want or as long as you live and then it goes to someone else. All utilities and food would be free. If you want a boat, fancy car, expensive jewelry, etc...that's where a job comes in. I realize that this would still involve a form of currency, but basic needs would be met and no one would have to be homeless or hungry and I think enough of us want the "good things" enough to keep us going. I would love to get rid of money completely and permanently, but how would it work? We are so conditioned we'd be lost. Lost until we realized the freedom. I sometimes wonder if the fact that we HAVE to worry about paying the rent and bills stops us from really finding our niche in life and actually being able to create a better society. Just think if we didn't need to worry about our basic needs being met, what would we do with all that extra time? Wouldn't we naturally start pursuing our dreams and perhaps in that way it could be something that could help others? Everyone assumes that we need a monetary incentive to work. Yet, what about all those people with fantasitc ideas on improving society who can't pursue them because they are too busy and tired trying to make ends meet? Sure there would be some lazy people. But if they choose not to contribute to society in any way, shape or form, then they would only have the bare bone basics of a shelter, food, and plain clothing. If they want frills, gaming systems, vacations, etc..., they'd need to get off their asses and do something. If you grant people the basics without asking anything in return who guarantees most won't just conform with it? and then who will be the one that actually builds and maintains all those free basics you take for granted? You end up with the current paradigm of enslaving the productive peoples through taxation to support those who wish to live doing nothing. "Your gates will be open continually; They will not be closed day or night, So that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, With their kings led in procession. For the nation and the kingdom which will not serve you will perish, And the nations will be utterly ruined." |

Don't know how you get away using from money. People are always going to want to trade stuff. Even in a pure barter economy there would arise some sort of intermediary exchange item like gold or silver. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1270647 The problem on this planet, is the game is rigged!!! It is not the producers who accumulate wealth... It is the people who know how the game is rigged, that wind up with the wealth!!! thank you! someone understands. Getting rid of currency is a really bad idea. It is a tool. A technology. A strategy. Like a knife. In the right hands used for good. In the wrong hands, used for bad. |

In fact, you can COUNT on the current monetary system to move into it's hyper tyrannical phase, known as the Mark of the Beast. Unless you take the Mark, you won't be able to buy or sell... PERIOD. So my advice would be to stop wasting time with your utopian ideals about justice and equality. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. If you think that it IS going to happen, then you are truly one deluded (and blind) individual. |
