Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.

Gift economies mean the rich get to buy favors and influence with their gifts. Those who can gift the most will be the ones with the most power and influence. A gift economy is pure trading of favors and influence. At the same time there’s zero transparency. It’s institutionalized bribery. It’s pretty horrible for people with below average social skills. Charming narcissists will rule this society according to their whims.
. . . There can’t be rich people in a system where resources are owned by the community.
Please just stop arguing nonsense takes and go learn about anarchism. I’m not here to debate bro your lib shit opinions.
