It's not as hard as you would think.
It only requires cooperation among those of us that keep the gears grinding away.
Think of it as a large labor union.
As we see up in North Dakota cooperation can bring us together.
Nobody wants polluted water, except the oligarchs who don't care because they drink bottled melted arctic ice that is from the pre-industrial pollution/atomic testing era, anyway.
So is it impossible for you to imagine that we could live in a world that doesn't have monthly bills paid to the very oligarchs that are poisoning our water, and food?
A system that doesn't include paying is going to ding your cognitive dissonance toooo hard for you to easily accept that next Tuesday we could just keep working, but stop paying for things, and the world not fall apart.
As long as the workers continue to mine the minerals, make the goods, and deliver them to us end users we can tell the accounting department to jump in a lake.
All the folks that are currently employed in accounting, and enforcing the paradigm, could be redirected to more productive pursuits.
Honestly, when you go to work do you take the time to make sure the boss got his profit?
Do you check to make sure that the corporation paid out it's dividends to the shareholders?
Of course you don't, because those things are not central to you producing the goods that you make with your hands.
You are the important one in this equation.
All the dollars in the world are incapable of putting the goods on the truck.
We have to have workers, we don't have to have dollars.
Are you capable of freedom? First you must free your mind from the bars that keep you in.
If you are waiting for some savior to get elected so that we can finally have a gov't that serves us, well,.....
You can stop waiting, because it will never happen.
Those that rule us by force, because it makes life easier for them, will not be giving up their comfy gig voluntarily.
Why would they surrender before all the true beliebers they have paid all that money will still stand between them and us?
Especially in light of the fact that most of them are criminals,.... #pizzagate?
Does a voluntary free market need people to enforce it?
I don't think so.
The only one new to the idea is you.
Have a perfectly peaceful day!!
Very good @freebornangel. Thanks for the links, memes, and Dream Weaver!!

I don't believe in griping unless I can at least try to find a solution. Griping does nothing but spread disparity. However, I sympathize to your plight.
How about a "Blockchain (style) government?" Open and (virtually) uncorruptable (at least for now). What are your thoughts?

How about we just end rule by force.
If I can't force you to do things that you don't want to do, and you can't force me to do things I don't want to do, conflict is impossible.
The solution I have offered is to keep working, but stop paying.
Did you skip over that part?
The first two links were to novels that offer alternatives to the status quo.
Any solution that leaves rule by force intact is no solution at all.

Afterthought: I believe an "open" government is what our forefathers attempted; however, because of the decline of integrity over the years, failed to achieve. With 'block-chain' technology, our forefather's dream may be able to become a reality.

BTW, I absolutely LOVE Gary Wright's Dream Weaver! That song has helped me through many a tough spot.
