    Yes, it’s a shame fascists are so hell bent on doing that to us. But perhaps if they experience consequences, they may elect to do literally anything else with their life than harass queer people.

    But I know I’m being too optimistic.

    Some fascists would rather die than be better human beings… So it is only generous to oblige them.

    whether one wishes to call it “currency” or not, there will always be some form of communication between the systems that decide what is produced, how it’s produced, and for whom.

    Although part of the problem with currency in the liberal capitalist paradigm is that the household sector has a deliberately suppressed voice in that decision making process.

    In capitalism, the private corporations and government bureaus just eat each other’s excrement and try as hard as possible to ignore the household sector (the citizen population).

    The ability to communicate demand is the entire purpose of even HAVING some store of value/means of exchange/unit of account.

    Automating this such that nobody would even have to do any personal tabulation, though, would indeed be ideal. Such as the lovely Fully Automated Gay Space Communism of Star Trek! Everybody’s basic needs are met and even most of their reasonable wants. Even then, not everybody can just requisition a whole-ass starship for their own personal use, though. There are inevitably SOME limiting factors on what someone can acquire.
