By merely co-opting the structures that are the multinational corporations we can usurp control from the money masters by simply continuing to do the work, but neglecting to account for it in dollars.
If you currently make widgets, instead of paying for the materials and adding your value so that you can have a profit, you simply continue to supply your widgets to the demand, except now you don't have to pay for materials and you don't get paid directly by those you supply.
Instead of paying to go to the opera and supper, you just go for free.
Those workers are working off their social obligations by providing this work for you to enjoy for free, just as you provided your widgets for free.
Yes, it is a paradigm shift, yes, it will take some amount of time to retrain the populace, yes, in some places shortages could occur, but if you don't like what we have now, there is no shorter short circuit to what they have done than just continuing to do the work, but stop accounting for it in dollars.
I hope you don't try to put my proposal in the same box as the failed proposals that have come before, yes, it looks like anarcho-communism, no, it shares nothing with state communism, no, it is not doomed by the same facts that doomed the previous anarcho-communists, ie, the centralized distribution system that is walmart, target, etal, didn't exist to be coopted in the first part of the 20th century when these ideas were put to paper and orated in the cities by Emma Goldman and Alex Berkman.
Yes, it is possible to live in a world where everyone works, and everybody eats for free.
That the people that have foisted this matrix on us disagree is in proportion to their benefit from the way things are.
If your slavery is comfortable enough, why would you want change?
If you don't know that crapitalism makes the poor slaves of the rich, you have more reading to do than my sound bite can give you.

The reason you know Marx's name, and not Bakunin's, is because Marx was a tool of the banks used to eradicate the thinking of Bakunin from the common knowledge of the masses.
In your case, it has been successful, presuming you are supporting crapitalism.
It hasn't been totally successful, plenty of anarchists still out there, more every day because of the internet making the ideas reachable by the masses.
Keep working, stop paying, end the dog eat dog paradigm of the crapitalusts!
A gold plated final sentence. A lovely soundbite! End the dog eat dog!!
