Why Is Money The Flow Of Life In All Societies And How Can We Change That?

Societies in general have always used some sort of monetary system. Some way of accounting for goods and services. This is one of the major enablers of different layers or have and have nots in all societies in the world.
This is one of the things that allows someone to eat and go to plays or pay for a huge concert ticket while others can't afford to eat or find a place to live except perhaps a box that has been thrown away.
This is one of the biggest reasons that governments fight each other for power and money for the goods to survive in the world.
Somehow along the way, we have all been duped with the idea that this is normal and the way to do things and yet all of us in our own way fight against this idea of being one of the have nots.
Why do we need a monetary system at all? I know this is a radical idea, but only because we have been taught by history and our own governments propaganda that money is a necessary thing.
If someone says that horrible word socialism or socialist, everyone around you automatically recoils. What a horrible thing socialism. Does that mean your a communist? Oh my God a Communist!
But if you look at communism; communism was not socialist. Comunism built it's own power government that had a lot while the people had nothing. That is not a real socialism and I am not talking about socialism per se.
Instead I am talking about a more radical form of stepping up to our own consciousness and ability to make our own decision about how to live and help ourselves and each other in the world instead of giving all our power over to a corrupt government.
I'm talking here about all governments here, not just one.

Why, if we can get together and create together and live together, can we not simply support all and all (In their own unique way) give what they are/love/create in the world to each other freely so that all have enough? I'm talking about dropping the insurance people, the Lawyers, all of the things that separate us or are intermediaries between us and let us simply all give so everyone has enough.

I am talking about the people having free schooling up through whatever field they truly want to work in and then let them create and bring new ways of being into their creations. I'm talking about everyone contributing, but if there are jobs that no-one truly want to do, then everyone helps do those jobs so no one is singled out to do something they hate for the good of all.

If someone needs a rare medical treatment to make them whole and able to function in the world, the doctor who can do that operation does the operation, the home visit as opposed to hospital stays, the real community as it could be.
There are an unlimited amount of ways this could happen i.e., community places to eat with chefs who love what they do and people willing to support that and go there free to eat.
With our home grown and organically farmed foods donated to that end so everyone can eat great wonderful foods of all kinds, perhaps with the chefs deciding they like to cook a certain type of food getting together at one place and another group who like to cook something else doing it in anohter place, but all people going to eat somewhere together.
Perhaps with Actors and musicians having a great hall and scheduling when they want to perform for free for all.
They could even combine it with the resturants so that people could see live art of some kind almost every night. Not just big name players charging for performances as it is now.

There are so many ways to actually support honor and love what we can do together. I don't think that any currency will ultimately work in an equally supportive way of life.

If we are truly looking at letting go of our current society (which by the way I endorse whole heartedly)then I don't think we should bring along one of its most destructive pieces into a new way of being.
