    We should indeed have more unemployed people, since we should strive to a world where nobody has to work anymore.

    Implement Universal Basic Income.

        I’m pretty sure if you got rid of money people would immediately reinvent it.

        I hate cleaning and I pay someone to do it for me. What am I going to do? Barter?

        The problem isn’t money it’s lack of worker protections and consolidation of power.

        Automated production.

        It is easier to see the extinction of humanity than the end of capitalism. But if we cannot imagine the end of capitalism we will see the extinction of humanity.

        Eventually, though (as Sophie From Mars speculates) the population will be reduced to where the USD and EU are meaningless, and the remaining bands act more like mutual aid.

        The question is if humanity has been reduced by then to tens of millions, or thousands.
