    My first poll for the NZ public

    Some see the idea a pure pie in the sky. But i'm curious. There are 50,000,000 registered people (give or take) around the world that agree that a financial system is not necessary. Sorry if I've left any options out.
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    What concerns me is that over 50% of them are free to leave the Facility on their own choosing.

    No doubt a similar number believe in an imaginary friend.
    It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.

    Would you live in NZ if there was no financial system?
    What do you mean by that? No tax? No wages? No banks? No interest? No money speculators? No trading? No barter?

    It's a great question but I'm a bit lost on the specifics.

    Mr Mash has espoused theorems pertaining to alternative societal models in other threads.

    Concepts not without merit, and reminiscent of the altruism displayed in a Lennon ode, but unfortunately like John, as much traction as a racing slick on a motocross track.

    I have indeed "espoused theorems pertaining to alternative societal models"... just like our governments have done and keep on doing... socialism, capitalism, democracy, autocracy, facism, dictatorship etc... none of which have worked... we are living proof of that.

    Unlike John though, I'm not advocating Peace. The world could well still suck... but people have reasoned, and rightly so IMHO, that the world would indeed still suck but to MUCH of a lesser degree. People will still be cunts, pervs, thieves (although you can't steal to sell, no money), Ward Wardens (i'ma headin back to ma cell massa Dave) etc...

    I'm betting no financial system would work. I'll stake my life on it!

    What do the beneficiaries receive in order to be classed as beneficiaries?
