They'll gain power over others and you will soon gain a government. Quoting: ZerocyberAnd money is another form of service for a service. How would you get food without trading for something? How would you trade for anything, without something? You won't be able to, and the poor would die off. The middle class would slowly become poor, and die off. The rich would have everything, until they started drifting into wars to captures what others have. If you are proposing anarchy, that is what you will get. If you are proposing a true form of communism, you will never get it. Humans are not ants, and never will be. And even ants are controlled by a leader. Err, you'll have to do better than speculate like that mate. Never ever discount the human will to survive. We're not just a bunch of couch potatoes with a bag of crisps in one hand, a television remote in the other, with the beer on the table. |

Centralized money and centralized power is a symbiotic pair; neither can exist without the other. Freedom can only be purchased with a decentralized open source medium of exchange where the producers of value participate in the creation of the symbols by which that value is exchanged in proxy, and the banker serves in an agency role to producers of value. |

If you threw a topographic map in a burning fireplace, would you look out the window expecting the rocks, roads, and marshlands to suddenly burst into flame? All human needs are provided by the living; an inherited debt is an enslaving memepex that belongs in the circular file with the flat-earth maps. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 590644i agree with this, mostly in simpler terms, apart from suggesting that freedom can be purchased. it is part of the natural order, while money is an idea, and freedom exists on a far realler level. i'll grant you that we can be hoodwinked. i come to the issue generally thinking of free energy, because money is only something that exists because we've been taught that economies work from the foundation of shortage, rather than abundance, and when mr. tesla finally gets his name honoured as it should be, i suspect the whole idea of money will gradually be forgotten. ferengi not with standing. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 876442if we don't, it will be like a stagnant parasite within us all. The whole problem stems from greed. People think they obtain status by having more than the next guy. If a new toy comes on the market, they rush out and buy one whether they need it or not. While greed exists and is allowed to run rampant, humanity as a while cannot evolve. |
