And what happens when there's more people than food? Crop shortages happen, and with everything free, how is anyone going to know when to ration their food?

Food shortages only occur locally. At a macro level, there is always plenty of food available, more than enough to feed everyone. The real problem is distribution, not supply.
[/quote]
Well, but of course, but without exchange, the local surplus just sits and rots, while the local shortage never gets filled.
[/quote]
This is true even for freely provided food that could be distributed without any exchange taking place.
[/quote]
How? Distribution could still occur without money being exchanged
[/quote]
Could occur, yes, but it often doesn't, because those people who have physical control over the food (aid workers, guards, government officials, truck drivers, warehouse and dock workers, etc.) usually demand some sort of payment before they distribute the food.
[quote author=DestroyCashMoney link=topic=6503.msg60629#msg60629 date=1340234505]I still dont think you get it. There wont be any more farmers (individual ones, anyway) people from the community can work 2 hours a week in the fields or somehting like that instead of having specialized farmers.[/quote]
As others have noted, producing enough to actually feed the population, requires specialized skills.
And farming is one of the least-specialized fields. I design, build, and install alternative energy systems (heating, cooling, electricity, etc.). Some unskilled worker cannot do what I do. I've been studying to do this for a quarter century, and it's been my primary source of income for the better part of a decade. That level of knowledge and experience cannot be replicated by someone who has never touched a wrench before. It cannot even be replicated by a year or two of intensive schooling.
And the majority of the population don't have any farming skills, at all. What you're suggesting is mass starvation.

I highly doubt that the food will "make its way" there, all on its own. So it will need to be transported. Which means vehicles. Which means skilled mechanics who can maintain those vehicles.
[quote author=DestroyCashMoney link=topic=6503.msg60629#msg60629 date=1340234505]As far as the eigth thing. and you say ideas are bad if you think of them while your high-doesn't make sense either becuase you all support it[/quote]
I wouldn't expect a communist to understand logic, of course, but even that's below the level of most communists. I support individuals being able to choose what they do with their own bodies. I support individuals engaging in a variety of recreational activities. I do not support individuals planning the future of a society while intoxicated. If they do, then the very minimum standard their plans need to meet, would be that they also make sense when sober. If your plans only make sense when you've disabled your ability to think logically, then it's rather clear that your plans are illogical.

Nope. You said no exchange at all, even barter. No exchange, means no distribution.
Oh god, why do you people have such stupid fucking arguments with trolls?
