"we are gonna have to exploit somebody" seems to be the thing you are trying to prove but you aren't being very clear about that for some reason and also not proving it very well

Wealth as the ability to decide who gets exploited and to what ends?

Can we keep money?

I know wealth is bad, but getting rid of money seems real loving dumb. People will just invent something else to be money.

Intellectual property like copyright, patent, and trademark are to be viewed explicitly as (perhaps necessary) inefficiencies.

Monopoly of any market in an economy is to be assiduously avoided for many reasons: because they remove jobs via economies of scale

Unions may represent monopolies of worker markets;

Mandatory union fees constitute rent-seeking

The minimum wage should not be strictly enforced and deemphasized or abolished

gently caress all of this nonsense, tbqh.

Calling a IP "inefficiencies" is overly reductive. Without IP protection there's less/no incentive to work hard to create something original, which is a plain worse state to be in, not just a 'less effecient' one.

nation states absolutely serve a useful function, and yes they must absolutely take taxes. but that tax should not be mandatory. That is the position I take.
