This is a niche topic and I’m not sure this is the right community. Let’s say we start to move on to a society less focused on capital. Not perfect but on the way there. There are still companies and there is an overall economy running around small businesses. How would a small business get started without access to “capital”? What are the alternatives?
So some sort off central government resource allocation? Would it be possible in another way? I think crowdsourcing is a basic example that alternatives exist even if that in particular is highly dependent on a globalized economy. The main problem I see with central government is that it’s much more susceptible to corruption, even if it’s on a local level.
Crowdsourcing is basically the direct democracy version of what I described. I show off my business plan and everyone gets a vote on if it goes through. In this case they’d need to vote with their collective share of local resources though. You can’t allocate more rice than exists locally, no matter how many burrito stands you want in town.
I think you’d want to avoid any system that relies on how many resources a person personally has accumulated. That’s the libertarian nightmare state where rich horder-preppers rule the world with their stash of toilet paper.
“Everyone” might be a bit hard to organize, but you rarely start in a vacuum. For example there could be an agricultural cooperative that you are already a member of, or someone you know is. That cooperative might be willing to sponsor your burrito stand if that is beneficial to their members, either because you buy maize from them and/or because they would like to have a tasty food shop near their shared warehouse or so.
