    well…i need to work to have my needs met (utilities, education, healthcare, internet, a roof over my head). money given on capitalism usually doesn’t give you all of them at the same time, and most of the time, you have to sacrifice one or many of them to get another. if all of my needs are met, that wouldn’t be work and it would be more like my retribution for all the services provided

      Hard no. Humans will still work in a stateless, classless, and moneyless society, just not in the way capitalists think. It doesn’t matter if it’s cleaning your home town, moving shit from point A to B, making art, testing out hardware, or whatever. Humans will just find new reasons to work.

    • Again, to reiterate, there’s no such thing as free lunch. The centuries long effort in abolishing capitalism is only one part of the cost, you also need:

      • establishing the infrastructure needed;
      • a cultural shift that is more communitarian, frugal, and more self-sustainable;
