Never mind the stratospheric sophistry. The simple answer to "Why
money?" is that the bouncer will stomp the lymphatic glands right outta
ya if you try to pay for your laundum-&-moloko-plus smoothie with a
fistful of tiny conch shells. They're right, our schools have all turned
into shit. You people have all turned in your dendrites for Pokemon key
rings.

Why money? Because it works...if not perfectly, then at least passably
well. The most popular alternative to the capital/investment economy--
something about "From each according to their abilities, to each
according to their needs"--FUCKING IMPLODED IN ON ITSELF TEN YEARS
AGO!!!
Yes, capitalism's an unjust, unbalanced, evil system; we're all agreed
on this. Now show me something better, please.

Do you honestly believe:
a) that the Soviet Union was ever *really* communist?
b) that the Chinese AREN'T?
State Communism is alive and well, despite market reforms.
But that's like saying off-white is an alternative to bone white.

It's easy! We get robots to do all the stuff humans do now, reap the
rewards of their work, and live lives of total slack, with lots of SEX
and FOOD!
