Do you all support a gift economy. - eviltoast

I think it’s the closest to anti-work life. I’ve been working to create a network of people and communities living without money. To show people an alternative system. A moneyless society.

    No. I think it’s fine, but not a real alternative to Capitalism. It seems like the sort of thing developed by an anticapitalist who accepts the Capitalist framing of history (“Capitalism is just when you trade things or have money”).

    I would classify this sort of thing as Ultra-Leftist - a movement seeking to skip the necessary steps in the development of Capitalism into Socialism and Socialism into Communism by just “doing Communism” at the local community level and saying “Well if everyone just did it, we’d be living in a Communist Utopia!”

    There is no skipping the steps. The abolition of work is the final step, not the first.
