Currency?
Thought I was clear with my earlier answer?
The things we build and the things we trade for. That's the currency. The items themselves. Think of it as a barter system if you will, although I
don't think that's a fair assessment.
Look before I spend more time with answers, and I am more then willing to do so, I am wondering if you are interested to begin with?
I am open and willing to entertain all the political philosophies in pursuit of a better societal structure, but you have made it pretty clear in this
thread and in others that you feel anything resembling socialism, and communism, etc, is a waste of time to even ponder. You talk like they are the
devil. Some of these principles are in fact socialistic, not all, but many. So am I just walking into a discussion where you scoff?
Also, I am not a follower.

There's no getting through to some 'amercuns' Every system devised as governance
on earth is open to abuse and tyrrany. The USA is no different. Nazism, Pol Pot, Josef Stalin... these are but the shock and awe examples of
'failure' But I'm sure if you notch up the US bodycount since 45 in CIA led coups and porxy wars, assassinations etc
(not counting tghe firebombing of Dresden and Nuking 100K Japanese civilians) you'll see that the US has killed more people than the Cambodians have
managed themselves.
Don't be fooled by the pace of subversion, slaughter and oppression.... just because the US as a political system moves slower than your historical
'holocausts' the revisionists feed to us in the indocrination camps called shools and universities doesn't mean it's any less malevolent than the
star spangled blinded would have you believe.
George Orwell (an adrent socialist/communist) wrote a book called Animal Farm and I suggest you read it. Peter Jacksons suggestions sound good on
paper but who'll gets the casting votes ? Will the breadmakers have the same say as the MAGLEV scientists and the Fusion inventors within. Of course
they're not. It's more of the same elite...scientists wanting to take the place of the bankers and money men as despots
People are and will be inherently greedy / lazy even within the Zeitgeist.
Utopia, it's but a pipedream.... we'll always be living within a world of skullduggery to certain degrees and those degrees have no moral high
ground however hard Americans scream and kick about it.
Yep, Communism was flawed but so is a system where you are sold a dream that hard work and belief in freedom means 300 million people can no longer
work, live in 10 million dollar homes and drive Lambourghinis...... sounds worse than the craziest religion or pyramid scheme I've heard of but
there's a nation of rabid bigots that believe it and are willing to die for it. (quick question.... who's going to clean these 300 million plus
swimming pools behind the american dream??? The Chinese ??)
May of the examples of failure that US citizens hold up as proof their 'system' is better
than what's went before has actually been destroyed through economic and subversive
actions by their government and shadow factions so who the hell really knows what works on a level playing field ??
I just sit back and watch those trying to play/change/buck the system behind the smoke and mirrors. Like maggots crawling over each other to get to a
rotten carcass.
