I have been on the Desteni farm for some time now, about three years, and while being here I have done allot of labour.
I have built houses, I have made trenches and I have planted trees and I have cut grass and raked it up, I have worked with horses and trimming their hoofs, I have built walls, I have done hundreds of meters of fencing, I have done so many thing that is seen as labour.
I did not do the labour because it was my specific job description, I did the labour because it was here and it was needed to be done.
So everyone else that came to the farm for a month or more, some came for a year etc, they all joined in automatically with in doing the labour and applying themselves in the physical activities that was here.
If we needed more rooms we would build them, if we needed a greenhouse for vegetables, we would all start working on it, if we needed more chicken coops for the chickens we would all built it together and we would learn together as we go how to do it.
So none of us knew how to do it from the beginning or none of us really specialized or studied how to do it before hand, we would learn and educate ourselves as we go with in using and doing what is practical and common sense and what is here, supporting and assisting each other to get the jobs done.
It because a expression, when there was things that was needed to be done such as big tasks as building a house we all would jump in together get it done and then after the task we all would go back to our other priorities.
For instance some would be in charge of feeding the chickens and looking after them and then the others would be doing the vegetables and the others would be doing the gardening such as cleaning and checking fencing and for holes etc, and then someone ells would be doing the ducks, and someone ells would be preparing food for the group and someone ells would be doing laundry. You know all the other points that is needed daily and can be done by one being as their point of responsibility and point of input as an equal in the community.
And what motivated us all to do these things was the one point of equality, we all had equal support, we had food, we had water, we had a room, internet, showers, entertainment such a playing pool or darts or swimming, we had a good place here and it was all taken care of, we did not have to worry about money as being an obstacle at an individual level so to say. So all fear and survival and all the un necessary complications was taken out and put back to points of simplicity.
So we all had the time and resources to focus on what is here and how to apply ourselves.
So i can with in this see how things will change within an equal money system and how people will work together and have fun while doing it.
And it will work. It’s really simple once money isn’t a problem anymore. Thus I recommend equal money as the solution, and once one study the 4 year labor system and how it will function then what i say can be seen in more of a systematic way then randomness.
and obviously waht I share here can be how it can function in an equal money system and also what a person will be busy with aftre they have done their 4 year labour. so instead of working everyday for bullshit such as selling jewelry or designer cloths, one will be doing all the daily tasks in life that has got to do with all beings and not just self interest, because it will not be nessasary and you will be taken care of by the system with all basic needs.
and fun wi;; become equal for all and actually be enjoyed.
Any questions, ask me in the comment box, I will answer and obviously there is a lot more to my experiences and how labour can work with in an equal money system. This is a simple short giving example.
