Currency is something you trade for commodities. Vouchers are fiat traded for commodities
There is n o accumulation
@Horse Shmeat So you get the money in return/
for working
There's still trade, they represent worth in exchange for commodites
Kind of like how a cashier will give you the excess money back?
Don't need the stores to trade them for it to be a currency
It is still currency even if you say there is no accumulation.
you're not trading anything
with the worker
nobody accumulates money
Yes you are, you trade labor for voucher and voucher for commodity
so what does the storekeeper get in return?
You don't accumulate sure but there's a trade
they don't accumulate the fucking voucher
The shopkeeper is given vouchers for performing his duty
Which he trades himself for commodities
they don't use your vouchers you turned in
They don't need to
>A current medium of exchange in the form of coins or notes
>Payment for work
Your labor vouchers are money
The people up top owe you what you need
And you owe them what you can do
@Horse Shmeat Hey, I have a system for our commune, I call it labor tokens, you get them for doing services, and you use them when you acquire or use services.
You can also use them to acquire food and water, as well as for trade.
nobody gains labor vouchers you put in 🅱
It's that you no longer have vouchers and the store doesn't own the vouchers
needs to survive are distributed equally
@Horse Shmeat You keep pussy footing around, it does not matter whether or not the shop keeper keeps the vouchers or not, it is still currency.
Of course you don't own the voucher
you can accumulate money
you don't get anything for yourself from the exchange
You don't need to accumulate it for it to be money
it has a similar function for universal equivalence
The US government actually owns all forms of money that they print out and can recall them if they want to.
You GAIN money
So what makes it different from your currency?
you don't get vouchers off of other people
