In reply to the discussion: New Leader Of UK's Green Party: Nuclear Power Is The Betamax Of The Energy World [View all]tama
(9,137 posts)77. Of course you can get away from money
it may not be always easy, but more and more individuals and intentional communities resist and refuse to participate in ruling monetary system, and/or develop alternative monetary systems that are not based on debt and interest.
People who live self-sufficiently free from the monetary system cause not much problems to others. People who have been made dependent from ruling money system are the problem, as they need to trouble and control others to get fed.
It's just a very simple fact, but understandably very hard to accept for people who are made dependent from ruling money system and cannot imagine anything else.

K&R But that was a very bad analogy. The leader of a political party really needs to be more
