Imagine A World Without Money? Everything Free? Will a Resource Based Economy Work? No.

Question: "In your libertarian view, are you satisfied that even with removal of state control, billions of other people will still suffer at the hands of the market system - a system which is itself an indirect form of control, and which, in an unprecedented age of technology, is already technologically redundant?"

Stefan Molyneux is a retarded filthy motherfucker.Without money all these cocksuckers indoctrinated with money,fortune,fame will be nobody like they are now,but the difference is other stupid fuckers give them credit.If all the work in the world will stop for a month this fucking system will collapse instantly.The sheeple will never do it because they are afraid and the ones who own this world knows that and they keep laughing in your faces.Humanity is doomed to live like this forever.Have fun!

The key is technology, witch is a ready leading us there. Other than that, the problem is social and corrupt governments.

Why are we defending Money?
It was created, designed & introduced as instrument for enslavement, entrapment, suppression, subjugation & social striation. It is an obstacle to grander creativity and abundance.
Worlds/civilizations without Money are far more technologically & spiritually advanced than worlds with Money. -
in my opinion resource based economy is what is needed the problem comes in when we have an over populated planet in order for the worlds problems to be resolved people need to die its a dark suggestion but it is all too true.

this is the first time I disagree with Stefan
-
Stefan made a fool of himself in this video being completely rude cutting the guy off repeatedly then claiming the guy was being rude I was actually embarrassed for him.

I believe it can. However it won't work, unless EVERYONE believes it can work. Money has one major flaw, everyone wants it, some more than others, which is greed, which leads to resentment. With those character defects the world is f*cked.

I also feel for Stefan talking with this guy. I have tried to talk to people like him before, and not from a position of power. When you don't have a position of power, they will not let you talk. They seem to think that if they say more words than you, that they win. The words don't even need to mean anything. Stefan is in a position of power in the conversation, because he can end it at any moment, and the guy wants Stefan's show as a soapbox. So Stefan is able to somewhat stop him from just talking and talking and talking.

One criticism on this video though. You seem to put way to much importance on money, and seem to understand what it is. Which is perplexing to me. You say the world would plunge into the dark ages if money went away. (If I am taking that wrong feel free to correct me, but that is how I took it). Money is only a medium used to ease trade, if money went away trade would still take place. Trade would be more difficult without it, but it would still be possible. Most of us trade out labor/time for money.
With no money we would trade our labor/time for food, or shelter, or what ever we need. Granted if you worked for a farmer, you would only be paid in food, and maybe shelter if the farmer had a place for you to stay. You would probably ask for more food than you needed, so that you could trade some food for cell phones or so forth. If you worked for a landlord of an apartment complex, you would probably ask for an extra apartment, so that you could rent it to someone who works for a farmer, so that you could get food. Without a medium of exchange, trade is made more difficult, but it doesn't end the world. -
I like the way Stefan closed on this one. "If you can produce things for free, and then give them away, then do it. You will put everyone else out of business." I never really thought of that argument, against these people, and I am disappointed that I never did, because it is so damn obvious. Thanks Stefan, I don't run into people like this guy often, but next time I do I have something new to say, and it might just get them to realize how wrong they are.

I like how he oh-so-conveniently tries to say that everybody everywhere would have to give up money and go out into the fields to work, according to their ability, in order for everyone to have stuff according to their needs, to side-step the failure of Socialism everywhere it's been tried, since it's never been tried by "everyone at the same time".
Just like the Venus Project Utopian Socialists who say the same thing, which removes any responsibility from their shoulders to go right ahead and build their "resource based economy" themselves and show that it works.
Of course they can't do that, because, they say, everybody has to be in the system first before it can work.
Meanwhile, relatively free markets have raised billions of people out of abject poverty. Film at 11. -
Another Utopian communist / Venus Project wanna be, who thinks that if only everyone worked hard for nothing, no one would starve.
Yeah. Like that hasn't been tried before. -
give ten people their own acre of land, a bag of seeds and come back in ten years.. 50, a hundred.... will every one still have an acre of land and a bag of seeds?
