    Money isn’t real, and humanity will keep enslaving itself until we equally distribute the products of our labor.

    Food and housing didn’t cost money until we decided it did.

    We can decide to change things again.

      It doesn’t need to be equally. Some people wanna distribute based on need. And some people think if you work extra, you should get a little extra in return.

        No, we have enough resources to provide for everyone. Money isn’t a game to be won, it’s a tool for human beings to extract what they need from human societies.

        We have to break that capitalist conditioning.

        There will never be a fair system as long as we keep creating different tiers of privlage.

          You’ve never heard of “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”?

          You should look into Leftism my dude

            From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs

            This phrase is the basis for enforcing an equal society, not an excuse to establish a different type of economic caste system.

            Doctors will still exist without our society disproportionately rewarding that behavor.

            Engineers will still exist without our society disproportionately rewarding that behavor.

            Sanitation workers will still exist without our society disproportionately rewarding that behavor.

            There is no situation where a caste system results in a more equal society than just equal wealth distribution.

              This is the basis for having an equitable society. If someone needs insulin to stay alive, they have a greater need and receive greater resources so the quality of their life doesn’t diminish. Some people have needs so great that with an equal share of resources they would just die as their equal share would be insufficient to their needs. Should dialysis patients just die or also have their needs seen to while maintaining a reasonable quality of life?

              There is no situation where a caste system results in a more equal society

              This is a weird tangent you went off on that’s unrelated to my comment
