    Money has a real purpose in Capitalism that is entirely unnecessary in a developed Socialist system.

    1% being favors doesn’t mean you need money.

    I suggest you read Critique of the Gotha Programme for information on why Money itself should be eliminated eventually.

      Money predates capitalism. The reasons why it was originally invented remain. Once your favors have any complexity at all, someone’s going to have the obvious idea of “why don’t we abstract this?”

        Money does predate Capitalism, correct. Never said it didn’t.

        Read the text I linked, you’re assuming I am referring to an anarchic system of favors and not a system where the government produces and provides pretty much everything via planning.
