Society simply grew to a point at which the barter system simply wasn't sufficient. If you honestly think that modern society would function without money then you're insane.

you're not wrong at all, and it probably would be inevitable (the creation of money).

i am not some communist jerk, btw. in the society that we currently live in, i'm all about trying to get more money. money=power. i realize that's the way it is, and i don't want to fall by the wayside. i just wonder if there could be a better way.

b/c if you think about it, crime in almost all of its forms is a result of a money-related issue. anyway, just tryin to clarify myself.

i don't think that modern society could function without money. the idea of communism is to change modern society (in a progressive, not regressive, manner) so that it could.

Crime might decrease, but only because it's harder to steal an ox than it is to steal a bunch of cash.

That's a ridicilous statement. One thing doesn't exclude the other. Just cause people like to dwell on the past doesn't mean they don't want to live for the future, nor that they are prepared for it. It's very important for us to be reminded of our past, in good and in bad. This goes out to us, as person and us as the humanrace. It's like saying that historicans can't prepare for the future which would be absurd cause knowing your past will help you understand where you'e moving to etc.

Yet you chose the name of a guy that had a false theory on gravity, lol.

As for the thread, I wouldn't change a thing.
Everyone thinks that but no, it's my friend's nickname that died 3 years ago.

But anyways, just cus he was wrong then didn't mean he wasn't right then. If that makes sense. They didn't have the tools blah blah, it's like when people thought the Earth was flat, they thought they were right until they could discover that it was not. Just say guys back then, even though wrong still paved the way for what we do now.
