How would you grow crops if you don't have land?

Not everyone can learn specialized trades that can be bartered for other trades. That's why we have money, to act as sort of a middle man. It is impossible for a large population to be supported by a barter system.

I would say 99% of the people do not and can not.

If they don't own land, they can't grow crops, which is necessary to survive. Where would your fresh water come from? These are things bought with money now. How would you get them in a barter system?

You keep responding without any answers.

How would YOU survive without any money. Show me you've actually thought about this and aren't just saying it.

I can imagine it.  I use cash less than once a month.  Everything is digital for me.  It makes everything so much easier.

I think PsilocybinLuvin is talking about no money at all.  Digital money is still money.  At this point of the discussion, the debate is over a monetary system or a barter system.

i wasnt exactly talkin the exact rules of a barter system either
no getting paid in valuables
but if a neighbor that has an item that you need
& you have an item that theyd need
you should surely freely trade
but as for survival each person should build their own house
& grow their own crop
& there is enough land!
way enough land
im sure populations have grown tons because of modern technology that money has been running
survival of the fittest would be put into place
and fit will remain
and it will be natural
and more peaceful than this moment in time

The kinds of uncivilized societies you are talking about historically provided short and brutal lives for people.  Currency is one of many innovations that has improved quality of life across the board.  By all accounts life was not better before there was money. 

It is a misconception that the world is less peaceful today than it has been in the past, and I think it's mainly because televisions deliver concentrated violence and unrest directly into our living rooms.  The news we receive is disproportionately bad, and it creates legions of jaded cynics who think they know exactly what's happening around the world.  Nobody does; the world is so vast, even the most well-traveled and well-read person sees only a tiny bit of the big picture, and 99% of that is composed of information that is at best second-hand.

There are tons of problems in society, there have always been, and money is involved in some of them, yes.  People fight over anything of value.  It's not the things that cause the problems, it is human behavior, our very survival-of-the-fittest nature that causes greed and exploitation.  Getting rid of money will not change that part of humanity.

Whatever works for you.  Blame and cynicism never did a thing for me, I wish I hadn't wasted so much time on them.

This is true, but it's because it's animal nature.  All creatures will strive to be dominant.  That's just survival instinct.  I think it's our (humans') higher complexity of thought and our complex society that enables us to be capable of doing more good.  Unfortuneatly, it also makes us capable of doing exreme amounts of bad.  Hopefully, we can move to a more compassionate civilization and shake off some of our animal instincts that are no longer necessary.
