    I don’t think any socialist society has ever abolished money so far, though it’s an admirable future goal. The USSR certainly didn’t abolish money, they had Rubles.

      Also, why is abolishing money a good idea?

      With money it’s way easier to know market value of a good or service…

      Otherwise you’re stuck with chickens per toaster or something equally as ridiculous…

      I was referring to how the people work and the government takes their money and “distributes” it, but most of it actually just goes into the government’s pockets…
