Hopefully it won’t be too long until the robots can do everything we don’t want to do and give us everything we can imagine. Until then, it is very nice to have a currency that is not controlled by chain manufacturers.
The problem isn’t that people have a convenient method of facilitating trade. The issue is that people obsessed with power have a stranglehold on it. Sure, in a distant tech-utopia where robots can do everything we don’t want to do, we will need no currency, but trying to get rid of currency now would just removed the process.
No, I am saying that the people need to lose their chains to run free, not just pad their chains.

It’s better to actually break the chains, or else this near-feudalism will continue.

I didn’t say we should get rid of currency right now. I want Socialism now.
