What if there was no money?

People say that money is why people work.

If you didn’t have money, then no one would do anything is the argument. But money is only any good if we all believe in it. Otherwise it’s quite useless.

However, the best things in life are created through love, commitment, passion and purpose. Not by money.

The problem the world has is that the myth of money has allowed a tiny few to control all the resources by accumulating all the money. In return they allow us to have just enough money to keep us working and buying/consuming their stuff. Great setup, but only for them.

What if money was eliminated? What if we were all given the same opportunities? What if the resources were shared fairly?

If the resources went to those who created things they loved instead of those with money then what an amazing world we could have.

Think about all the wonderful things that could be created.

Many would be scared by this idea, think it utopian, pie in the sky, something to be consigned to fluffy world.

Yet, we are all happy to live in a world where 80 people, yes that is 80, have the same amount of money as the 3.5 billion of the poorest in the world. There is something wrong with that surely?

WTF happened to hope?

What the FUCK happened to hope, idealism and belief in making a meaningful difference for humanity?

It got flushed down the toilet by the greedy, profit-driven industrial machine and its owners, who bought the politicians, bought the schools, the lawyers, the banks, the shares, in fact, the whole lot. Then turned us into compliant cogs in their machine. They have been controlling us with their ‘religions’ and myths of money, capitalism, democracy, certainty, and offering us trinkets in order to consume shit we don’t need.

They have created hate, cynicism, judgement, war, poverty, criticism, and division so that we fight each other and ignore what they do.

Well, it is enough, we want to live with hope, ideals, love, kindness, compassion, empathy and we want to see a world free of greed, judgement, hate, anger, cheating, manipulating, shitting on people and killing them too.

It’s enough.

Hope lives on, for example, Corbyn, he’s the start of a new hope, he is something different in a field of dull black and white, bland, safe, politicians, all offering the same dreary compliant life of debt and slavery for most, JC is offering a new hope, and once you have a why, once you are prepared to be different, sticking to your values, and once you can inspire people, they become your evangelists, they become the people who spread the word for you.

Look at the surge in turnout in the UK election.

We need to all rise up and be counted and back hope, back people who are prepared to stick to their values and be prepared to stand out from the crowd. We need them more than ever to help us overcome the industrialised machine that has turned us all into debt-laden compliant slaves of their myths and system.

Rise up, become a leader you want to see or become an evangelist for someone who inspires something different. We have a responsibility to ourselves and the human race to act.

Hope is there if we choose it.
