If you look back I didn’t say

If you look back I didn’t say ‘abolish’ money. I don’t promote the abolition of money but socialism is a move to a totally differently structured system/world society which will have overcome the need for money (because of common ownership etc etc etc –  don’t need to go into all that just now). So I see it more as not ‘presenting the conclusion first’ but offering ways of visualising the alternative, ie socialism. We’re often accused of spending more time criticising capitalism than laying out what socialism is and this would be one way of countering that. In explaining how , when money is not a consideration, housing will be affected, it can include all manner of arguments: the relations of building labour with capital – as covered in ‘The Housing Monster’ plus things starting from free access to housing for all, dealing with substandard housing, suitable infrastructure, discussion about urban v rural, etc etc.”Start from a commonly experienced social problem and show how the causes run back to the same thing…” you wrote – yes, this is pretty well what I was suggesting. Cause – capitalist system: effects – numerous and negative: remedy – a socialist revolution. Thanks for the ideas you were ‘just throwing around’.RE ‘The Housing Monster’ I read it soon after you’d posted about it a couple of weeks ago(?). It raises some very good points, as do the others on the site. http://prole.info/   Well worth a look as are the various other pages . I’m not good with labels and don’t like attaching them but I suppose this one is anarcho-communist. Please put me straight if I’m wrong.
