Easily now with computers and smartphones (but barcodes/cards where that’s still not feasible)

They’re earned by the hours worked, so personalized, non accumulative, you’d have to spend it in a certain period. No cashier’s till, no banks, no theft. Paul Cockshott goes into minute details on it in Towards a New Socialism.

I justify think eventually people will start to let people slide on a payment for things. What’s it to your barista if you pay? An in-kind economy would replace it like a kid taking his training wheels off

Yes, but you underestimate the power of the purposefully ignorant.

Low tech capitalism is just as destructive. End state-capitalism and the ecological disaster can be addressed. End technology and it won’t

Someone was telling me it isn’t exactly Liddite-ism, but he still retreats to Catholicism

The other thing.
It’s called communism, socialism, anarchism. I even heard someone say it’s just that capitalism Adam Smith advocated. Non accumulative currency, non market economy.

I don’t think that would be an issue.

Again, I recommend Getting Free by James Herod
Haven’t gotten to the economics chpater, but Cockshott’s book presents a working labor voucher system. Which has the beauty of not being against the law (yet) as it isn’t money

People. Just all of us in control of our own lives. Issuing out non accumulative currency. Which I believe would even lead into a shared economy. But that’s all way off in the possible future

They’re working. That pays them.

More socialism!

There’s no representation in DC or parliament. Subvert them. Start with the cash system. Replace it with non accumulatives

“Common-wealth” ought not be tied to a spooky currency
Also read Bookchin.

You misunderstand what a “spook” is

You’re going to have to go into more detail than “nu-uh”

One based on non accumulative currency

Who cares about money?
Fuck money

Explain there why computers couldn’t calculate that shit. Go on.

Aka vouchers. A system that was hard if not impossible to make work without computers. Paul Cockshott goes into much more detail here.
You pay for time spent on something and it gets canceled out not stored in a till or bank account. Since no one can work more than a reasonable amount of time, no one’s going to be rich beyond reason. All resources go to the community. Cockshott may be a statist, but there’s no reason anarchists or democratic confederalists can’t use this too.

We don’t benefit from technology so much now because it’s still capitalism. Self driving cars about to put trucker and über driver out of work, would be a boon to a socialist society.
Something’s got to crack.

Can you give a rundown of what you’re referring to? I do want to read this book soon though. Here’s one for you.
Yes, I’m thinking of the ramifications of just paying people on an app for time worked, a second income. “Funny money” but redeemable at socialist establishments, goods and services.

Hey. Have you read this?
can you design an app for me/us?
