Abolish Money on 3 March (2033)
Wage slavery
In the early days of the Industrial Revolution the job was seen as a different form of slavery, it was taken for granted as such.
Like the Israelites walked away from their slavery in Egypt, the population of planet Earth must figuratively walk away from their slavery to money.
Money is the carrot and unemployment is the stick
Unemployment
Unemployed for Britain rant
When someone like Bill Gates states that unproductive people should be sterilised does he mean people who haven’t contributed to his billions?
Cattle
Work from home – employer provides home, food, health care, leisure
All our needs are met provided that we’re productive
What are we?
Value
Nowadays it is taken for granted that everything has a monetary value, almost nothing is valued above money.
Because it’s taken for granted it is very difficult to persuade people of the unfairness of money.
When people say the system is the problem, they point to capitalism; in my opinion capitalism is a sub-system of money.

Like the Israelites walked away from their slavery in Egypt, the population of planet Earth must figuratively walk away from their slavery to money.

Jesus and money – money changers and face on coin incidents
In California there is a draught and water use is being restricted to everyone/thing except the Fracking industry, therefor in money water has less value that oile or lift, human or other.
It seems to me that this demonstrates that money is a false measure of value
In money unemployment has value
In money mass murder has value
In money withholding medical treatment has value
In money withholding education from the young has value
In money starvation has value
Growth
Resources are finite, therefore growth can only occur through the organization of reduction.
Money is fair
Rent is fair
Benefit culture is fair
How is it that one human being’s time is worth nothing (or is a cost) and others are worth a fortune – answer, it isn’t
