Money pits people against each other

It is hard to feel love, compassion and understanding when you are shackled by the contraints that hjaving a low amount of money put on you. One bad day by you and your financial life could be over. One bad day by your boss and it's the worker's lifes that may get worse for it.
The pit of despair is so great that the middle and upper classes have to create a justification for poverty so their ego keeps working properly. Complete fabrications such as "they are just lazy" or "you can pull yourself by your bootstraps" emerge naturally in a situation in each you are born into a class and all your peers are hoarding money and possessions or spending on frivolous things.

"Look for the helpers", but they are not on TV. The media has their own money problems to solve and its much more lucrative to instigate frivolity and cheap entertainment rather than information and compassion. Many of the problems that money creates, money itself makes them not be solvable.

Moneyless society: a needed attempt at a fair and livable world.

“Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts completely.”
This kind of quote is usually used against governments. When all that governments attempt to control is the rampant power of the money-havers of society. Corrupted governments are corrupted by money. Do you want to strike the source of corruption and power imbalances? Target money itself.

Money is the source of imbalanced power relations. Humanity workd on reciprocity. Any social animal understands reciprocity and helping each other. When a society gets stuck with the terrible idea that you need proof that you create value and that this proof is a piece of paper, reciprocity dies.

Do you think you have a connection with your local baker? With your recurrent uber driver? With the handyman that fixes your stuff? Well, then try to get their services without your “proof of worth”. I’m not saying it’s their fault, as they would quite possibly be screwed themselves if they started working for no money, but it points to a dystopian reality that some people fail to realize: people end up doing things they don’t want to, for people they do not respect, for reasons unrelated to the common good, simply so they can have their money and thus a place to live and eat. At this point. what is our society? Where is the expectation of reciprocity?

Money-based logic makes peole believe someone doing an useless thing that helps a rich person becomes richer, is worth more than people helping their community for free. This will reflect on their quality of life, safety nets, access to healthcare, education, information, time of leisure, and many other things that create a self-helping cycle of wealth for them and their families, connections and friends. How is this different from a caste system? Can, at this point of 2020, someone still believe the lies that this system works in creating progress for everyone?

Humans seem to have had a similar intelligence to our nowaday counterparts for at least 500.000 years. Inner worlds, imagination, art, love, sense of community, social relations, and everything we need to thrive. There’s not a drop of a problem in regressing back into a time-proved solution when a new societal invention fails. Money has failed. It has failed us already many times, and we have been registering it all and teaching our children in schools, in the hopes they can create a better world. May we, today, be the children that grew up to understand and change the world. May the cycles of control and domination get stopped where it starts: the break of trust and creation of castes that money creates and represents.
