I like Dank threads.
I will answer seriously though, there is no such thing as a world without money, it wouldn't bring world peace, it would bring starvation and depression. If we completely removed currency, we would end up back at a trade and barter system. If you want to get technical, trade and barter is still "money" as people would start amassing desireable goods that they could more easily trade for things they wanted, and that is in itself, money.
If we cut out the trade and barter system, you are back to using whatever you can make yourself. I'm not sure about you, but I feel that I'm a rather handy person, and with a bit of research I could make a lot of my own basic needs. However, I don't think I'm good enough to build my own microprocessors and other electronics that I want, so until we evolve into a civilization where every single person is able to make anything immaginable themselves, a world without money is impossible.
If you mean we have to get rid of fiat money, that wont really help either. If we have learned anything from Bitcoin, is that whether we don't trust fiat and stick to cryptos, metals, or shells, the same underlying "greed" is impossible to get rid of. Money for the poor to middle class is a method to buy goods and necessities. For the rich, money is power. Rather than cutting out money which is a neutral medium of exchange, what we really need to do is cut out power. However that leads to issues again, while some people may be complete anarchists, most are not. I'm all for freedom to do whatever you want as long as it doesn't infringe on others. However, I don't have enough faith that my neighbor wont just walk into my house and stab me for shits and giggles, so I would not like to take place in an anarchist system.
So really, even in an ideal world where we get rid of money and power, there definately will not be peace unless you devise a system that forces everyone to think in a similar matter of morals, but by doing that, thats not really having a lack of power as someone is doing the brainwashing.
So before the concept of money was ever coined (pun intended) there was no world? There certainly was a world and they did not commit genocide on an astronomical scale for monetary gain and certainly did not arm themselves with enough nuclear warheads to destroy the earth 40 times.
Money makes the underlying greed impossible to remove from the equation, for money is a possession which is a direct result of greed. To seek a financial system is to seek inequality. A world with money is the cause of the depletion of resources and the hunger and starvation of nations.
It's time to take what we learned from technology and return to our roots of sharing the world rather than hoarding it.
Once we abandon money we will truly find trust through the compassion and sharing of our neighbors, our community and our planet. We will be there for each other in trust others will be there for you.
Moneyless societies are very well proven to work, but not in the modern world or any community of this population density. Removing money from the world right now would bring horrible consequences and war.. as we may see in the coming decades when US/EU economies continue to decline. To have no money we'd have to start over with different approact to life, for example my personal utopia: a world where humans live in small and primitive hunter-gatherer communities.
If our current society can support the biological life present on earth then there's absolutely no reason a freer society could not maintain this just as well, so long as fear does not continue to rule the minds of man kind. Imagine if anyone could grow food for the community without being pursued by government agencies, the supply would be much more sufficient as well as diversified.
a world without money is basically a utopian ideal. is money really evil or is it the people who hold it?
Money is a tool of greed. It is used by some to control populations and there is no reason this would stop as long as there is those that gain monetarily or in power by doing so.
You should not be taxed to survive.
