Could we ever learn to share the hardware needed for production? Notice corporations are also 'sharing', and must also cover costs. But corporations must charge *more* than costs to collect Profit because that is what their investors expect as a Return for risk. But if the investors were the consumers, and if they would accept Product as their Return, then Price and Cost are identical since there is no sale, and so Profit is undefined. Learning to Share Sources (co-own the Means of Production) is one half of a plan we can use to begin ignoring the Capitalists. Learning to Swap Skills (barter our specialized labor for the benefit of others while those others perform labor for our benefit) is the other half. When we finally can co-own the infrastructure of all our Production, including ISP and cloud services, but more importantly, agriculture and housing and even city infrastructure will be under our control. And since the Product will not be sold (except during surplus), we will not need to pass tokens to receive those goods and services because the user will already own what he would have otherwise been forced to purchase because of his co-owning the inputs. When we finally can trade work by committing to achieve future production in return for others committing to do the same for us, then we can specialize without passing tokens.
