The invention of money was a blight on our society. Abolishing it immediately is the first step to proper environmental recovery.
What the systems of getting people their food, supplies would look like, I don’t know, but having corporations hoarding wealth and polluting everything needs to stop.
Money can and should be abolished, but the best way to do so is to work towards a fully publicly owned and centrally planned economy and work towards the use of labor vouchers, which are destroyed upon first use. Eliminate production for profit and replace it with production for use.
A few related thoughts.
I think it's important to understand that "money" as it exists within markets exists in a manner to be exchanged and accumulated. Labor vouchers are a type of "currency,” but as they can't really be accumulated in the same manner money for exchange can be, may make sense in the far future.
It's mostly a moot point because we lilely won't make it to the level of centralization necessary for such a system in our lifetimes though, and our successors can figure out potentially an even better system.
