      There’s nothing inherently wrong with money, and any pre-scarcity economic system will need some kind of token or allowance to prevent overconsumption of resources :)

      The lie that capitalism tells us is that the only reason anyone should ever want to use their money is to better themselves :)

        Money is information about how a group of people wish to allocate resources (material and labor). Capitalism casts money as a resource of its own, which is also a lie.

          Bingo! Money is a unit of measurement, but it’s the only unit of measurement that we can buy. We can buy a kilogram of potatoes or a meter of cloth, but it would be ridiculous to just buy a kilogram or just a meter. And yet, I can promise you $120 Monday if you give me $100 today, which means I can buy a dollar.

    Never thought I’d see Kabuki Klash in here! Ah, so many things have changed since I played… I still suck at fighting games though. Fuck the golden monkey.
