Resources = money. Resource based system = money based system. Time is a resource. Thus, why you often hear time = money.
Money is not a resource. Money is a token. A symbol.
Money is not wealth. They conjure up billions of new monies every month. Yet printing money does not increase wealth.
Unfortunately, those who construe money with wealth or resources are beyond reach of the movement.
Money and debt are make believe. Only resources are real.
You only want money because you either want:
1. to spend it on real wealth and resources
2. use it to accrue even more money to eventually spend (delayed spending but that is always the ulterior motive).
Nobody wants money just for the sake of money.
They want money to be able thing that they actually want.
Furthermore, there is no social system that is free of compulsion and coercion.
What, you actually think the poor willingly, voluntarily choose not to take from the rich?
So why is compulsion and coercion legitimate when used to protect and enforce private arbitrary privilege but not good when increasing general utility
(increasing the overall welfare of population)?
Why is it only the rich are entitled to welfare at the expense of everyone else?
What is the non-arbitrary justification for private property, right of inheritance and the right to issue the nation's money (currently privatized to
the banking system)?
There is no system without some degree of coercion. Especially no capitalist one. Those tend to be the most coercive of all.
They have to be to perpetuate themselves.
