We need to begin the discussion on founding a new economic value system. We need to be as imaginative as possible, considering all ideas that emerge, having tangent conversations among each other, and checking in with each other through the week. For starters, let's consider a system of currency founded on "working-value," that is, money is created by the fact that there is new information available, or new skillsets available, instead of a monetary system based on interest and perpetual debt.
Well, anyway...if we can't jump to a moneyless, stateless society at once, we should at least start by withering away at the relationship of labor subordinating itself to capital, right? Or no?

um, OWS doesn't think that far in advance! Such questions....hurry, shut this guy up for asking questions! He's gone off the reservation!
Are you joking or are you serious? I really can't tell.
Next time you ask your parents for money, they'll probably go to an ATM and pull it out for you. If there are no banks, how can your parents continue to give you money for weed? Now, do you really want to upset the apple cart?
Well, that's all fine and good for those people.
Lets abolish the banks and go back to the bartering system! I need a new hammer and a new plow!
