It's that Korean guy who loves death
And aren't still under the impression people don't keep their toothbrushes
_quick hide your cell phone, they'll *totally* try and redistribute it!_
Fuckin shenanigans :l
Kek, well the idea of wealth redistribution is fucking retarded because the second you start buying things for yourself, the idea of having it taken off you "for the greater good" is extremely undesirable.
So you'll get nearly no cooperation from people who don't believe in "the greater good" and want to support their families to give them the best life possible.
Hence why it isn't an option, and hence why it's not literally taking sums of money from one person to give to another person, plus that doesn't solve shit if the money is still allowed to be concentrated back into power centers
There isn't some national tip jar that gets passed around by armed guards
Its things like capital
That get redistributed.
Not things like
But capital in and of itself
So you want to start stealing people's money from them?
You mean in the same way they have money stolen from their labor?
You're gonna start whining about CEOs taking home large pay packets, aren't you?
Or bankers taking home huge amounts of retirement money
Not about large or small pay packets
Its pay at all
The need for a middle man is nonexistent
You want to abolish money
And people want to apply their labour to use those resources to make a living, or a good, or what have
You
They should do so
You want to build a society on barter?
As they did through the entirety of human society
Before capital
It was only until violent enclosure that you needed a CEO getting paid to sell yourself to make a living
You are trying to make a case for society to be built on barter
Gift economy is just yet another mode of distribution, you obviously don't need to haul around the tangible goods
You can have a medium of exchange that doesn't entail a market
Its not like I'm asking people to trade horses or couches
So calling it a barter or implying such a thing is meh
Whether it's barter or not, I think we both know I mean making goods for the sake of the goods themselves,
Not the wage to then go buy goods
Barter is the direct trade of goods and services without the use of money.
You essentially want to end the entire finance industry because you think money is bad. And you want to replace what is used to help set a standard of relative value between goods with nothing.
Read what I said above
Your idea would lead to huge job loss.
