The primary focus is on sustainability and the equitable distribution of resources to meet the needs of everyone. It operates on the premise that the Earth's resources are too valuable to be controlled or monopolized by corporations, individuals, or governments. Hence, resources are managed collectively for the benefit of everyone on the planet, which ensures that everyone has equal access to basic necessities, such as food, water, shelter, healthcare, and education.
The resource-based economy proposes that technology must be prioritized to maximize the efficient utilization of resources. Thus, automation and intelligent systems can streamline the production and distribution of resources.
The economy is developed such that there is no monetary system in place to represent the resources exchanged; instead, efficiency and effectiveness of the exchange are measured by the outcome of the exchange. The degree of the success of the economy is measured by the sustainability within the environment, and by ensuring a higher quality of life for everyone.
In a resource-based economy, exchanges would be based on access versus ownership. Access would be granted to ensure everyone has access to the resources they need while reducing waste and duplication of efforts.
Here are some examples of exchanges in a resource-based economy:
1. Sharing Energy: Instead of buying electricity from energy companies, the energy would be generated and shared among communities.
2. Public Transportation: Instead of individuals owning private cars, efficient public transportation would be available, and transportation resources would be collectively owned and distributed.
3. Community Gardens: Instead of visiting grocery stores, where food is packaged, transported, and sold, communities can have local gardens or commercial gardening hubs where members can grow and support each other.
4. The Sharing of 3D Printing Equipment: In a resource-based economy, 3D printing equipment would be shared instead of individuals owning it themselves. A community could share printers and have access to more resources rather than having each person buying their material and printer.
5. Health Care: Access to free, public health care would be accessible to everyone, which ensures that everyone has access to essential medical care and benefits.
Overall, exchanges would be based on collaboration and helping one another succeed, rather than individual benefits. The focus would be more on sustainability and the preservation of resources for everyone, and not on the accumulation of wealth for a select few.
A resource-based economy shares some similarities with the concept of communism, but it is not the same thing. Both systems advocate for a shared and equal distribution of resources, but how they achieve that goal and how the economy is structured differ.
In a communist system, the government or the state owns and controls all resources and means of production. The goal is to eliminate the hierarchical system of classes and achieve a classless society. In practice, however, communism has often led to the concentration of power in the hands of a few and the suppression of individual freedoms.
A resource-based economy, on the other hand, does not advocate for a centralized government control of resources but would rather have a sustainable management system for resources that will meet the needs of everyone. It emphasizes technological solutions to maximize the efficient use and management of resources. It also promotes individual liberty by emphasizing equal access rather than control.
A resource-based economy maintains the principle that resources are meant to benefit everyone, instead of benefiting just a small number of individuals, by using technology to manage resources efficiently and equitably distribute them. In contrast, communism places ownership and control of resources in the hands of the state rather than the people, which can lead to a lack of incentive for individuals to work hard and innovate.

Actually, I am not for a resource-based economy if it requires only public transportation and community gardens.

First reasorced based economy just means most the economy is based on natural resources.
Additionally getting rid of currency doesnt mean everything is free is just means you have to barter with goods and services.
That is essentially where currency steps in. Just an easier way to make trades without needing the physical resources all the time.

Your "argument" doesn't even make any sense, dopey. The resources came before money, not after money.
"Say Jack, we have all this money just lying around. How about we invent some resources to spend it on?"
"Yes that's a fantastic idea. Aren't we smart?"

I don't see why exactly, currency is just a median in transactions used by individuals.
By having a currency, a market can more easily be established with currency as it allows for consistent prices. Let's say a TV today costs 500$, without currency, you could trade that TV for 10 chickens or 76 bars of Dutch chocolate. As the exchange rate per chicken for chocolate bars is 1 to 7.6. Such a system as seen in the analogy would be overly complicated for consumers and investors to easily understand and thus would result in a far slower and less optimal economic system. Along with the fact that such a system is far more easily able to be prone to exploitation.
For such reasons, eliminating currency is not the most feasible option we can take here.

I'm so tired of meeting imbeciles who have been brainwashed by this fantasy. Are you seriously telling me that I'm going to willingly starve rather than grow my own food? There's no incentive for me to build a well rather than travel 6 miles to collect water every day? There's no incentive to build transport so I can travel to the places I need to go?
Everything there's a use for there's an incentive to produce.

Currency and Registered Federal Note are not the same thing a registered note has in writing on the Note itself, it is payable on all debt. The person holding the note has a signed document issued from the Federal Reserve. How many other forms of paper currency have in writing on the receipt the holder has the fact in writing and does not promise the note bearer they hold is registered for all debt? How many? None? MinedSubCraftStarved there is a rather large negligence when the Regulation of the Federal Reserve Note by Congress, Federal Reserve, and Executive office does not point out legal inconsistencies with global currencies and the Federal Reserve Note.
