Yes, I'm sure it's not just that I've read enough socialist material to decide that socialism would not be too fun. Scarcity will always exist. Certain goods have to be hand crafted by people nad they take a long time to make. I know a few guitar luthiers. I takes a lot of work to make a quality instrument. There will never be an abundance of them. That's why the cost a couple thousand dollars.

I think we should try to make an abundance of what we can, but how do you go about obtaining the other things. If you just give them away people will be fighting and stealing to get them, as there'd be no other way to obtain them.

Like I said before(I think), why can't we have a resource based economy for some goods and still keep currency around for other goods? If it was non'fiat currency then I don't see the problem.
