you're assuming that the myth of scarcity is not a
myth. ever wonder why everyone redily admits that
there is enough food in the world to give everyone 3
times what they need, but then turn around and try to
justify wages / money / exchange / etc. thru scarcity?

i've been of the opinion for some time that the reason
that the spectacle rose was to justify post-scarcity
capitalism.

at any rate: chances are there will be no need for
wages, but the free availability of all goods and
services to all. exchange can be ovecome thru mutual
aid. etc. etc check ou the book _bolo'bolo_ for more
thoughts on possibilities. its very weak in some areas
(i'm currently working on a very thourough criticism
of these weaknesses), but in general the ideas are
feasible.

hopefully we can get past this stuff anyway. if we can
not we will see some form of class society rise again,
methinks.
