If all money is created through lending, and all loans have interest, then there will always be more debt than there is money.

How can we be expected to pay more money than exists to afford the principle plus interest?

😌the concept of a commune would best explain a reasonable approach to this as an intentional community of people living together, sharing common interests, often having common values and beliefs, as well as shared property, possessions, resources, and, in some communes, work, income or assets.- Money would mean nothing

It's only a representation for a trade-able good that many use to get and give resources

@SirDurpsAlot For future notice, don't post preachy bullshit about utopian communism on my threads, and I won't tell you to fuck off
@Invisible For present notice
I wasn't preaching

@SirDurpsAlot Nothing you said was made relevant to the question. You saw something about our flawed monetary system, and your mind instantly jumped to communism. You started talking about how communes would solve problems related to trading resources. I'm not even going to begin to discuss how wrong that is. If this is your thought process, then either you are a communist or have nothing better to add to the discussion. If this is the way you respond to issues like this, then you are throwing the baby out with the bathwater, the baby being a functioning economy and the bathwater being a flawed system of liquidity.

If someone mentioned that their feet hurt when they run, you wouldn't advise that they cut their legs off, would you? That is how your talk of communism appears when you mention it in a thread about monetary systems.
@Invisible You find no relevance
but... that's simply perspective and your welcome to what you see (even if it wasn't so in others eyes)

@SirDurpsAlot The only relevance that communism has to the policy of money creation is that the centralization of money creation is a communist idea.

You might not agree with that statement, but you clearly know nothing of what communism really is. Communism is not ownership of everything by the people, it is ownership of everything by the government. Everything becomes centralized and seized and the people who are not in control of the beast lose all freedom.

Communist ideas effectively are and should be limited to the household.

@SirDurpsAlot Yes your perspective only works in the land of liberal delusion on a Commie professors chalkboard, where everybody "thinks" alike.

Your premise is dearth of reality, it never takes into account the natural human instincts of people who wish to live free, to be competitive and yes to be greedy. To dream and who want a better life. No, to you and others who embrace the coming technocrat enslavement, a global utopian commune is a reality which can be attained, attained only if we all gave up our instincts, freedom and natural right to be individuals. But some of us choose to live free rather than become slaves of group thought and carnal pleasures. Take your socialist fables and stick them in the trash heap along with all the other empty promises and nightmares liberal utopianism and its illusion brings.
