It isn't impossible at all and the only reason any person believes such a thing is due to mental conditioning that all government just loves to do. Think about it for a second...how many people lived just fine in ancient times without money? How many people were more closely knit and sociable due to a lack of monetary grievances? The truth of the matter is that in today's world we NEED to destroy the "need" for money. Money is created for nothing more than a variable to control. Money is basically one of the ropes that holds the puppets even higher on the stage. That's all there is to it really and to not see it would be a very dangerous thing.

I know some out there may argue that people aren't civilized enough to handle such a situation but if you ask me that couldn't be further from the truth. Just how do people make money? They do favors for someone else right? Exactly and money in realistic terms doesn't make those favors get done; it's the work those people stressing their minds and bodies day in and out that get those favors done. Some people are making minimum wage and might know they are stuck in a risky situation doing so but a lot of these people keep their job for years...why? If they aren't making too much money then what's the point? Especially if they are given offers every now and then?

It's because those people ENJOY their job. They enjoy helping others on a daily basis and the workplace they are in. Not to mention it would probably be a simple job if they were use to the routine. Why try to quit and start something possibly more difficult rather than excelling in a single job you could eventually make more from regardless of pay or appearance of how bad the job may be. People CAN help each other and not even be bothered by it and it's due to the natural need to be helped in return by someone who is (hopefully) just as caring. The sad truth being that those people leading the businesses that hire all of those hopeful people don't care about the people working for them so long as someone is doing the work.

In our society today given the extensive knowledge of things currently available to EVERYONE; we could easily see an EVOLVED society if only we could get over our petty materialism! It's called helping one another people, one person helps you and you help them back in a reasonable way WITHOUT selfishly demanding monetary reward or a debt that exceeds the person's life. Without money we could make anything we wanted and it could be available to those willing to work for it.

I'm not saying everyone could get everything and nothing would be individual. What I am saying is that people could finally learn what it means to live in a real society not dominated by tyrannical greed. Work is going to be required to fix the world but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy helping each other as we should as a group sharing the entire planet. I know there are several different people on earth who have the potential for a more bright future. If we do not allow anyone their ability to bring forth ideas such as this then we are preventing evolution in itself from taking place. Don't leave it up to government to make the choices for you and rely on your instincts.

Buddha himself knew the evil of loving material things once he ascended to godhood and did what he could to bring that knowledge. Several other people of the like have been attempting to reveal the same ideals since day one and not enough have listened or seen what they should.

I'll leave you all with this..."Material possessions are not an evil in themselves...but loving them more than they deserve is what really brings disaster to the soul of anything...regardless of species." I just made it up...hope it rings true.

We have a monetary system so some can eat steak while others eat bologna sandwiches. When the barter system ruled the land no one was getting rich, the social classes were not so distant. In those days you earned your food home clothes and horseshoes for your horse by providing goods or services. The banks of England were not getting what they felt they deserved so the pressure was put on the newly founded American government to implement a system that would easily funnel wealth towards the homeland aka England. Fast forward to now and the banks of England are no longer getting their share due to lost gold, lost trillions, lost jobs and the drug scam(legal and illegal) and the pressure is on again to restructure our current monetary system so England receives their fair share.TO BELIEVE OR NOT TO BELIEVE that is the question

dont be so quick to throw away the monetary system....i admit it has its flaws but remember with money at least we have something that is tangible and real in your pocket...if we get rid of the monetary system now (which seems to be happening) everything will shift to forms of credit-sound familiar- and basically you will never see your "money"....already our government has been dealing in lines of credit for decades and there has been no real "cash transactions" and look at where it has got us....i say gold standard!

I can see the reason it would be a bad idea to get rid of money in our current state of things what I meant by my previous post however was that if we could effectively get rid of our money system AND those who control it at the same time that would leave our society at a better position. The money system is ruled by corrupt people and as such it should be at least removed and replaced by something better if money should still be needed for some reason.

Otherwise people could theoretically just do favors for one another and evolve into a more structured society and as for people having to worry about living in mud huts I don't think we'd have to worry about that at all. We don't need money to make the things we already have we just need the people who know how to make them to be willing to work just for the sake of survival and not getting a paycheck which is practically just another piece of paper that humans have given meaning to..and too much meaning at that if you ask me.

People survived for thousands of years without monetary systems. To think it is essential for the survival of the species is downright laughable.

The only thing that couldn't survive without money is industry.

I wish everyone could have the means of subsistence farming, because when it really comes down to it, providing food for the self is essential. Especially when considering kicking our current addiction to the system. If they don't control our food they don't control us, which with Codex Alimentarius and others who wish to further control our means of living leads to other conspiracies.
However, with the advancement of our race I believe it will be essential to learn to live with the environment and have a more respectful use of our knowledge and technology for that matter.
The OP couldn't see living without money because he believes he actually "owns" something, many other great people of our past would frown upon this idea. I seem to remember a Native American tale that told of a native asking the men who just came to their part of the world why they were fencing in the land.
The survival of industry without money is also possible but it would take creativity and ingenuity; something we are still (hopefully) capable of. I live a nice life on the system but I long to break down the barriers that the lazy, and in some cases, evil people set up. It is nonsense to say that we still cant strive to advance our race technologically and intellectually without the influence of money. In most cases, this to me, is evident that in order to truly advance we must do it in all categories of mind, body, and soul. All people should naturally strive to better themselves in these respects and in an advanced civilization, money is just a hindrance to this.

Industry could survive, it would just not be the same creature it is today.

Also it would be more geared towards a resource based economy.

Much like mentioned in Zeitgeist addendum.

Unless we want to live like early agricultural societies, we NEED a monetary system to do business. The biggest reason why civilizations started to accelerate in development was the ability to use gold as a medium of monetary exchange starting around 600 BC, which made it possible for larger and larger economic trade.

I do think that given the problems with fiat currency, we could within the next 25-30 years go back to a precious metals standard for currency, one based on a ratio of gold, silver and platinum.

It works really well for them, huh? Reach bastards..
The problem arises when your commerce grows beyond a village. You have to have a basis of valuation.
Money is not inherently evil, it is a useful mean of exchange. The abuses of a system are. They all stem from usury - charging an interest on a loan. It was expressly forbidden in the Bible, for a good reason: if we accept a theory that money represent certain value, then usurer (read banker) effectively STEALING what belongs to you in form of the interest.
Prohibition of allmighty interest will surely ruin the financial and banking system, but it is not the end of the world. We will just learn how to live within our means and help each other.

Hey everyone first post so be nice

I think its time people stop and take a good hard look at how our society functions and make necessary changes to ensure our survival. There is only a finite amount of resources in the world and as our population grows the amount of resources we need increases as well.

Our current monetary system wastes these resources due mostly to competition, look in any store and see multiple copies of the same device, and think is it really necessary? In a resource based economy this is how it would work as i see it. Lets use a cell phone as an example, instead of hundreds of people working independantly of each other trying to come up with their own version, a group is formed and with input from the public and various experts in various fields ie manufacturing, materials, capabilities of said device to devise the best possible device that our current technology would allow. Tech in general would benefit the most from this kind of system simply because all the people who currently work for various companies/governtments would instead work together and that would naturally allow for greater advancements more quickly.

We just tend to accept things as they are instead of questioning or thinking about what could be. I realize that thats a pretty broad statement but really thats how broad our acceptance is these days.

Check out www.thevenusproject.com and watch "future by design" it makes you think.

It would if it knew how to live. I know the practicality and freedom money gives but that freedom is an illusion. And proven so and is failing. Being kept alive by lies, frauds, and every evil under the sun.

People when they learn freedom is a priviledge of nature and time, not money, they will see how to live together properly until then its disneyland and scuba diving for 50$ an hour..wooo watch me ride this one...

So true. There have also been societies that use the bartar system as well. In other words they would trade services for goods or goods for goods and even services for services. No money was needed.

Just an agreement that if you give me this product I will give you this service.

" Hey I will mow your lawn in exchange for some gasoline for my car"

Along that line. munkey you are right, even today there are many societies that share everything and seem to be doing ok.
