    In my mind, once a society has reached the point of actual communism, money won’t be necessary. Goods produced, jobs worked, and resources allocated would all be done because it's necessary or people want to. People would have housing, transportation, leisure time, healthcare, and education readily available at no cost. What you do beyond that would be completely left up to you. Want to open a bakery to provide your own specialty muffins and shit to your community? Go for it, there’s nothing stopping you. The drive isn’t profit, it’s because you like baking and having people eat your cookies makes you feel good. Want to spend your days traveling around the country smoking weed and hanging out with your dog? Go do that shit, because you don’t have to worry about bills or whatever.

    I think to manage consumption and stock, there would need to be a voucher system or maximum quantities to how much you can take per day/month/year. This isn’t based on theory, it just makes sense to me. I’d like to hear critiques or whatevs.

        What makes sense to me is posting them online, and it would be first come, first serve. One ticket per person, or you could grab them up for a small group of friends.

        Edit: I mean, that’s kind of how it is right now anyway, except the prices are exorbitantly high and scalpers buy hundreds of seats to sell at a premium.

        Also, I don’t think vip sections would be a thing, so you just need to be early for grabbing the seats you want.

      How would you get a storefront and the materials necessary to open your bakery?

        This is one thing I’m not 100% sure about, tbh. I’m not familiar enough with the concept of a stateless society, yet. The solution I can imagine is having some type of community-run zoning board that has the authority to allocate certain sections of cities to commerce or industrial zones. The baker could apply for a type of space ideal for a bakery and storefront, and if there’s a space available, they can take a few steps to acquire it and open up shop. I’m not certain on the specifics.

        If existing space isn’t available, maybe an alternate solution would be to contact a contractor directly to see about building a storefront. Or maybe if enough citizens are interested in opening businesses in a close proximity, they could appeal to the said zoning board to have a strip of stores constructed.
