“The fish are owned by all Alaskans equally,” said Rick Green, special assistant to the commissioner of the Alaska department of fish and game. “It’s a really cool, unique benefit that Alaskan residents get [if you’ve lived in the state for a full calendar year]. It’s a way to use the resource owned by the people for the benefit of the people.”
For a few weeks in July and August, all resident Alaskans are permitted to catch sockeye salmon for free. They’re allowed to take home 25 sockeyes for the head of household, plus 10 more for each additional family member. A family of four, for instance, may collect a total of 55.

The Alaskan natives before being expropriated they used to take everything for free from the oceans and rivers and shared it among each other for thousands of years and they never destroyed the environment and they did not have overfishing. There are many things that we can learn from them but their knowledges has been sub estimated for more than 500 years
Indeed the Inca civilisation is an interesting one where money did not exist – but class society did.
“From the standpoint of a higher economic form of society, private ownership of the globe by single individuals will appear quite as absurd as private ownership of one man by another. Even a whole society, a nation, or even all simultaneously existing societies taken together, are not the owners of the globe. They are only its possessors, its usufructuaries, and, like boni patres familias, they must hand it down to succeeding generations in an improved condition.” — Karl Marx, Capital, Volume 3, chapter 46.
