    You seem to think the flower crown maker is making them for profit. You’re stuck in the capitalist mentality. We shouldn’t be defined by what we do and we shouldn’t only do that which is for monetary gain. I don’t want somebody needlessly making an endless supply of flower crowns, I want a person free to make flower crowns only when they want to for pleasure.

      Absolutely. I would love for them to be free to make them as well without any worry about survival. I just don’t think that anyone should be able to go to them and demand that they have to give them their flower crowns that they just spent all weekend making. They have friends that they want to give these flower crowns to in exchange for other cute accessories.

      Also, I think that if someone spends 3 months making an RC truck, then the flower maker should not be allowed to demand they give them a truck simply because they make flowers crowns that the truck maker doesnt want. The truck maker wants to give this truck to the drone maker who is going to give him a drone.

        What have I said that implies they would get to demand anything? Where I have I said everyone gets to have everything they want?

          I agree. In this hypothetical world without currency, people don’t get to have as many things that they want. In a world with currency, they get more of the things they want. Human nature for nearly everyone is that they keep wanting more and more things. That’s why most people choose to live with currency instead of living without it.
