It is not the absence of money that sucks, but money itself. Money is that which creates the divide between the rich and the poor, the haves and the have-nots, the affluent and the starving. In a moneyless society, resources would be given primarily to the needy, not the greedy. We have the technological and industrial capability to ensure that everybody on the planet has what they need to be happy and healthy. It is only the unequal distribution of wealth, created by money and the capitalist system it runs, that concentrates this technological-industrial power into the hands of the few and ensures that it will not be used for the equal benefit of all. The abolition of money is an idea whose time has come, and I hope one day we wisen up and try to do something about it.
