money still exists in communism. it's just a means of exchange. it has to exist until a central AI computer is put in charge of allocating all the resources accordingly.

you'll be shot for that. It's gonna take some time to reprogram people but it must be done. the planet isn't some infinite expanse of resources. it's finite in size and it can't support capitalism long term. the resources must be managed and properly allocated. humans must establish an equilibrium with this planet or they will die.
