The GRB converts US$ assets to GRBe. The GRBe reserve supplies shareholder accounts with e50 per day for 20 years. … Two percent of GRBe income maintains the GRBnet and e50 per day supports GRB shareholders for life." i.e., nobody works.
Even assuming full automation ("nobody works") why then continue with money and buying and selling? How do you reconcile the existence of such phenomena with common ownership which you claim your system is based on. Economic exchange logically precludes common ownership. I think your whole agument is very muddled frankly speaking . It doesnt even begin to explain why the" earth’s wealth of natural resources" should be valued at 6 quadrillion (q) GRBe and not, say, 6o quadrillion (q) GRBe. You just seem to be plucking figures out of the air. There is no hard economic theory behind your proposal

So the Romany/gypsy word "gadgee" is used in the NE of England as well as in Edinburgh. Interesting to ken.What about "keeping shottie" —look outAnd to chore…thieve. The last i personally surmised what brought back from India where when i saw that Bombay has the Thieves Market of Chora.
Gadgee is a definite Romany/Geordie loan word, very commonly used in the North East, as is radgee (mad) hence radgee gadgee. We also use chore "A'hm ganin oot on the chore" which translates as "darling I'm going out to collect my share dividend" , However we keep toot, not shottie. Barr for a pound (another Romany word) is common, as in that cost us twenty barr, an item of value can therefore be barrey. We use Charva (another Romany word) which I think has been corrupted on a national scale to "chav".There is, of course, a big Romany tradition in the Cheviots, the King of the Gypsies used to be crowned at Kirk Yetholm and I think a lot of the old shepherds and drovers had Romany links.Also lots of similarities between what could be broadly termed Northumbrian dialect and lowland Scots as Lowland Scots is a dialect derivative of Old Northumbrian.The old saying is that a Geordie's just a Scotsman with his brains kicked out. However some of us still consider Edinburgh and the Lothians to really be Scottish occupied Northumbria!
To bring your argument on Occupied Northumberland up to date, i noticed that many try to get their medications free from north of the border and perhaps if Scotland does get independence there will be a move for the border to move southwards and restore the Carlise/Newcastle frontier-line. Radge and radgee too is a word used in Edinburgh. I recall a weegie co-worker surprised that we use the ord chum as a verb…to chum you (accompany) to the shops, for instance. And i remeber him explaining the dispute he had with a shop when he asked for ginger and got told they didn't have any…a weegie generic term for any flavour for what we call ijuice…Shottie or shot can also be used for can i have a shottie of your mobile to make a call

Hi Vin,In your social system in which money is obsolete what will we use as a global medium of exchange?
John Pozzi wrote:Hi Vin,In your social system in which money is obsolete what will we use as a global medium of exchange?You don't get it. How many times have we said that in a world socialist society there would not be an exchange system? It is going to be a free access society. If you do not read about it, you will never understand it. We have hundred of articles about that idea. Are you really from Itally ? http://www.wspus.org/in-depth/the-alternative-to-capitalism/

I have nothing to exchange but my labou power. As our cde in previous post has said to you on a number of occasions, you need to understand what socialism/communism is.'Exchange economy' has become a fetter on mankind's advancement. It is as primitive and as obselete as religion. We no longer need it.
