Forgive me If I seem as if I am coming across all abstract, but very little is being done to put forward a MoneyLess world by those of alternative outlook to Capitalism.
Many well meaning people put forward reforms based on moving money here and there - easing trade restrictions on the developing world or minimum wages, welfare etc. Also a more cynical few talk in terms of money in terms of minimal demands to act as bait to lure people to a central commitee run authoritarian party.
The thing is all these people do is end up talking like BreadHeads. Surely with production so advanced and so large then we could go straight to a world without money (production is vastly greater than in Marx's day).
Why put forward state capitalism when their is no need for an elite to run the state. For instance enough food is grown to feed the entire world - this is not utopian. The world could be fed easily and not in some distant state capitlaist future after a minority have imposed their will from the top down.
Why talk of redistributing money here and there. No matter how good someones intentions, you are just speaking like an acountant with a conscience.
People should be educated and doing away with money should be openly talked about on the Left.
Obviously I won't be throwing away my money as I need it to survive in a money driven world.
