@MattiFreeman1 do you have any specific reading out of those that would change my mind? i don't have time to read all the books you are telling me to read.
@MattiFreeman1 i did. of course i didn't have time to read the whole thing, but i read the article that was specifically supposed to describe the difference between equal money and Marxism. the differences seemed to me as pretty much the same differences Kropotkin and other anarcho-communists described (except of course the ones who prefer bloody revolution), however, you then showed me BIG, which i said resembled what i would expect to be an aspect of a Marxist transition period.
equal money is not anarchy - it is a system based on what is best for all. Where participation is based on giving everyone what everyone would like for themselves - love thy neighbor - so you have no competition for survival / life.
Capitalism/Communism is based on ideals - not on common sense consideration of Life
@MattiFreeman1 you've obviously done very little research on anarchism and haven't the slightest understanding of what it is. you need to read "The Conquest of Bread" by Pyotr Kropotkin and similar books, or go to libcom (dot) org and read some of their articles, because you will find that what you are talking about is EXACTLY in line with their ideas, you're just blinded by the stigma of the term "anarchy".
@MattiFreeman1 i agree, and we're in agreement as to what most of the problems plaguing the current system are, however, i disagree that the Basic Income Grant would be sufficient for transitioning to an equal money or similar system and, in fact, it sounds to me as though the Basic Income Grant fits in well with the transitionary period in Marxist theory which, it could be argued, allowed the horrific regimes we saw in the USSR, Indochina, Cuba, and other "Communist" countries.
