Hmm, I've heard this sentiment many times. My question would be, what method would you suggest we use to allocate resources and wealth? What society would we have to settle matters of law and public policy?
There are several alternatives to using money and capitalism. One is the obvious barter system. The barter system is THE truest free market known to mankind (unlike what those libertarians go on about) and it is immune to being leeched upon by paper pushers and percentage raisers. This for that is the only free market
Then you have labor trade vouchers. "3 bushels of corn or three hours electrical work." Again, a type of "currency" that fat cat corporate leeches cannot attach themselves to.
Money, on the other hand, makes it easy for the unproductive types of society to climb very high up the ladder. Paper shufflers, percentage raisers, number crunchers, "investors", ALL worthless to society, ALL backstabbing asswads, and ALL think they deserve to be the richest asshole in the country. Money makes it easy for the do-nothings to climb to the top. Money is easy to steal, and corrupts most people that come across it.
Law and public policy will be directly handled by the citizens themselves. Not some political figures and the bankers who tell them what to do like we have now. In a syndicate, most laws will deal with trade code and safety, and less laws about society. Property will be common ownership and the labors of your work will be your capital (not the money you stole from fucking people over with paperwork)
I know, I know...the supposed "real capitalists" (right libertarians and anarcho-capitalists) are the first to jump up in defense of money or the gold standard. They dream of sitting behind a desk pushing paperwork and controlling all of the currency and land. Wage slavery is what they stand for.
