So 'pay' with labour, no one is arguing against that here. Do you think the housing this person is standing in formed naturally or that they have an issue with working? The issues they are talking about are money and ownership of resources.
Money (and capitalism) is a terrible way to abstract labour value, and as we can see it leads to hoarding by people who do no work.
Genuine question: how would you replace money in a complex society? Exchanging favors and services works only on a very small scale.
Mutual cooperation as seen in anarchism.
We tried that before. It ends up in gangs, fiefdoms and kingships. You all act like we walked out of the forest with money and government already in place
All the rules are written in blood.
