Plumbers, like the rest of us, are entitled to a lot more than what they would receive under such a system. Under this system, how would plumbers get two weeks in the sun, a nice car, or the means to pay for their daughter’s wedding? Who would give them these things in exchange for unblocking a sink?

I want to see a world in which exchange is not mediated through money, but in direct return for other goods or services. 'From each according to their ability to each according to their need'. 'Free' and 'nothing' are not the same.Records on Ribs is a tentative step towards a post-capitalist/communist economy. It is a relateively unsuccessful one, as we knew it would be* (I don't think any plumbers have offered you their services in return for your music...).*It's been a roaring success as a record label and in terms of getting the music 'out there', however.
