    If you’re not allowed to do profit then who would do trade and why?

    Because one can’t possibly own or learn everything so you’ll have to trade some thing you have for something you want. Skills, food, stuff, art, tools, music.

      And while we’re at it, since it’s difficult to get everything you need in exchange for something they need, it would help to have a universal token of agreed upon value for us all to trade with. /s

        And your point here being…?

        Are you implying that currency is a product of capitalism or that currency only exists under capitalist societies?

        Lol, I’m no historian but I almost sure that currency has existed in basically all big societies way before capitalism was a thing…
