Whenever people hear about a moneyless society, the first question is often: “Isn’t that just communism?” In this episode, Justin unpacks communism’s ideals and its authoritarian realities, explores the Socialist Party of Great Britain’s long-standing vision of a moneyless, wageless, stateless world, and looks at real-world experiments in communal living — from monasteries to kibbutzim to modern co-ops. Finally, he shows how contributionism builds on these lessons, offering a bridge forward that learns from the past without repeating its mistakes.
