    I'd like everyone, whether you are a capitalist, socialist, or none-of-the-above, to share your own best submission, no matter how awkward, for a non-monetary alternative economy.

    You have been entrusted with planning the entire socio-economic structure of any planet of your choosing, whether that of Earth, a space colony or that of an alien species on another planet.

    That's your mission: Propose some kind of economy, to the best of your ability (and despite any reservations you may have about the endeavor) that doesn't use money or even a bartering system at all.

    You already know mine from my "Question to capitalists" thread so I won't subject you to it again.

    Granted, I'm imposing heavy restrictions on you, but propose the best one you can.

    Explain to everyone how such a system would function.

    One last condition: It can't be a system that forces any individual or group to participate. So there has to be a mechanism where people can peacefully opt out.

    Okay, you have your mission, show us what you got.
