That's a chicken or the egg situation isn't it?

You need money to feed someone, to get a roof, for healthcare. Wouldn't anyone growing up their entire life in this system be reasonably expected to be obsessed with money? Thus perpetuating the system and the issue.

Human labor transforms the physical materials of nature into useful goods. Humans can decide how to collectively organize their labor.

We don't actually need money to feed anyone (look at indigenous tribes for example). We have collectively decided to put paywalls on everything we produce. Which is a shame, because we produce more than enough for everyone.
