    I really am curious what you mean by “moneyless” though. Like, is it just doing away with the money systems we’ve built (like banks, stock markets, etc) or is getting rid of the concept altogether and returning to simple bartering?

      Gift based economy. I help you because I know that you will help me. If someone doesn’t pull their weight then they won’t get help. Basically everything runs on social currency and who owes who (but it’s not as strict as “I owe Jenny £5.83”, it’s more like "Jenny’s my friend so I’ll help her)

        How does that scale up to large communities where people aren’t generally going to know each other on that level?

          Just swap people for communities. “we should help community X because we know they’ll help us”.

          Or maybe you do need to barter at a larger scale? This is all theoretical anyway because, remember, this is in Fantasy Utopia Anarchy Land TM

            All good ideas start off theoretical. These are just the details that need to be considered in order to turn a good concept into an actual functioning system.
