Communism requires the abolition of money and the market system

A : [[claim]]

[[Communism]] requires the abolition of [[money]] and the [[market system]].

First saw this explicitly stated in [[Forest and Factory]].

They also discuss how this is a point of contention.

Since money and markets both predate capitalism, the question of whether they can serve any purpose within a communist society is often a contentious one.

– [[Forest and Factory]]

Because

• [[Any society in which people must rely on money and markets for the essentials of life is not a communist society]].
• [[Attempting to limit markets to just "non-essential" sectors is risky]]

Counterclaims

so long as money and markets are confined to "non-essentials" (or, more strictly "frivolous" or "luxury" goods), then they can be allowed to play some role.
