The main point of contention will be from those addicted to rule by force.
Those and those who make a lot of money with things how they are now. You're right, people don't turn down free stuff, but they'd rather have that on top of what they've already got coming in.
...to those not committed to being slaves.
This is probably the crux of it. Most are followers who want to be led and guided. They'll happily follow a path like this, but won't be able to comprehend how to do it without someone guiding them. That's where the rulers can always step in. I also think that many people need to be at a point of high need before they would see the bounty of this concept. So it would be easier to move 2nd and 3rd world nations into this kind of economy than 1st world. The chances are, however, that it will be the rulers who would make this happen rather than the people themselves and we already know that with rulers everything comes with catches.
To be honest I think we are currently being herded down a path where we will be in such a desperate situation as to accept whatever lifeline they offer us. I see that lifeline as being something like this, but long hours for our free stuff and for many more years...and if you don't do as you're told you'll lose your free stuff.
Sadly, the last time the ideas I propound were commonly discussed was just before the ussr became a thing.
The ussr promised what I promise, but never delivered, and never intended to do so.
This book tells the story of it.
IF it were to happen today it would take somebody with a worldwide reach through the medias and we would likely have to set a date, and after that date nobody pays for anything, people keep working, those that don't have jobs can just help their neighbors do what they do.
As long as the miners keep mining, the manufacturers keep manufacturing, the delivery drivers driving, we shouldn't see any glitches at all.
We just all live without bills.
The rich can keep their castles and private jets and we can all go about our businesses never banking again.
If only people weren't so meddlesome life could be so simple. You know how it will go, though. "We need to log and monitor everyone to check they are contributing, otherwise it's not fair on those doing all the work."
That sounds like a book I would like to make some time to read.
I was lucky enough to have the time years ago, it was a real eye opener as to how much is kept hidden from us by the victors.
They can only busybody us as much as we tolerate.
When the 'just want to be left aloners' are fed up with this nonsense there will be a pushback of some scale and the busybodys will be made to crawl back under their rocks and nurse their blackeyes and bloody noses, this is the point that must be reached before freedom can return.
