I think it's the closest to anti-work life. I've been working to create a network of people and communities living without money. To show people an alternative system. A moneyless society.

It may work at very small scales. It won't work on the scale of a city or probably even a neighborhood.

Hi, I think at the scale of neighborhood or bigger, it would work even better as people would have more produce and more to share , more variety and quantity of resources and tools , more population could even mean less time clashes among people for volunteering for help.

But how do you oversee the activity? I fully agree there are many motivated people that work for the joy of it and that are happy to share the fruits of their work, myself included. But I also think there's a whole lot of work of the daily grind type that (almost) no one enjoys and given a chance people will avoid, especially once you move to larger scale populations.
