          Yeah

          Just like in the existing capitalist economy, case managers decide who receives disability payments and insurance analysts decide who gets medical treatment. Who knew society means being at the whims of other people 🤡

          Is a social economy, you can directly appeal to people with resources you want, as in “socialize”.

              Man I don’t know, why don’t you go ask this hypothetical man in this hypothetical society? Don’t be a dick if you expect to be welcomed.

                I’m asking you because you’re in here arguing for this moneyless, library society! I feel like if we can’t answer super basic questions about how getting rid of something as universally important as currency would actually work, then maybe we haven’t really thought it through.

                Very interested to hear more though, particularly as someone who studied things like this and is now an economist who works in inflation.
