You make a good point but miss the determining factor which is this.
Firstly 80-90% of the food production/car production products, gas supply, electricity generation is machine operated.
when one used to require a team of 2000 men to operate a car plant or factory, now a team of 20 can do the same, by overlooking the machines.
The material is mined and produced predominantly by machines, that do not require paying if you like, so actually the reason why we pay similar if not
higher costs is not because we have to, it is for the profit of the few.
Now actually money is a way of control, because, if the government said, for 4 hours a day you need to do exactly what I say, in the form of labour,
there would be resistance, and it is simply not practical, but to take 40% of the money, is effectvely doing the same thing.
Now if governments were to shut down, and every one be free from the prisons, this would ofcourse be ridiculous.
But the point is that we need to be free of our control, not to go back to survival of the fittest, and the two are not synomous. Why is crime
committed? Very often it is because of lack of food, money, and so on.
If 80-90% of the entire food and energy production is automated, and the costs reflect that, then well, the corporations who control us would not make
money, and then we would, if keeping the monetary system, have to work fewer hours.
Well, what would that do? Well it would give us more time. And time is freedom, free time. The reason why most people can justify that we are free is
because we have free time, but there are several reasons why we are not free and why we are being kept as prisoners for no need.
