@FinalOverdrive yeah. It's really frustrating honestly because if you ever question the anarchist communist desire to have everything free at every point in production and consumption and distribution they turn on you vehemently because they've learned to associate any form of money and monetary exchange with the horror that is capitalism, and will refuse to consider something like for instance a hybrid economy. (Where primary production and distribution of resources is organized through a market and then federations of decentralized Mutual Aid networks can act as an overlay economy to redistribute things if necessary to ensure that values and people that aren't legible to the market are still taken care of and any male distributions of resources that the market may produce have a correction mechanism that is directly in the power of the people.)

They don't seem to see that there's just fundamentally no way to make all of the calculations and communicate all of the information necessary, or spontaneously and in a decentralized manner organize all the things necessary for a complex large-scale economy to work efficiently, without using some form of monetary exchange. Nor do they see that there are so many ways to get around the problems with needing money and a market that people talk about, through stuff like occupancy and use possession, worker self management, and mutual credit associations to help get around the poverty trap.
