Again, I'm not interested in debating communism. It's been tried, it doesn't work. When bitcoin clicked for me I cried tears of joy. I've spent many hours debating ideologies, politics and religion in the past. It's been educational. Now bitcoin makes all of them obsolete. I'm not planning to change anyone's mind. Now I'm happy I have the tools to build whatever I desire. Millions more have it too.
As for the small communities of hippies living together without money, I say let them try. I don't think it will amount to anything good but I believe in freedom. Even the freedom to do stupid shit Osho style as long as it doesn't interfere with my business. The planet is big enough to host 100bn and many ways will be tried. I'm curious tho how does one such community secure its land from outsiders. Some fear lions, others fear immigrants. May the best win.
I believe there's a place for pro bono too. I have nothing against voluntary contributions. I say free men handle their own business, money included. There's no reason to giveaway all your belongings to the chief of the village. This is just replacing government with a smaller daddy. Not to mention it's naive to think big gov will let any small communities develop. Only bitcoin citadels will stand a chance because they have resources to do so. If citadels become sanctuaries 300y from now, that I don't know yet.
