You do understand that money(cash) is a tool and value is something the beholder assigns. Of course, with the advent of merchants, the beholder is told not to ask for less than what is considered acceptable by the merchant!!
Also, even if BASIC NEED are met, the desire for more(want) will spur forward and entice people to overthrow such a system. Alas, it is also WANT that will encourage people to work at slave wages as we see in even the most ruthless of communists regimes. It is WANT that puts the prostitute on the streets of Scandanavian countries and cause riots to form in the capitals during economic down times. Want is the driver of crimes during economic Booms, during times when needs are met.
Want is the downfall of any Utopia. The fatal Human flaws of lust and greed. Until man can be successfully re-programmed to ignore his desires, the dreams of Idealists and their allies will never become a permanent situation. Their world like the temporal existance of a Moth. A winged creature that burns in its blinding ignorance of mankind!
Let's say my dream passion is to create TVs. I run a company that creates them. I give them away to anyone who wants them.
Any conceivable product you can think of in our current society, from mansions to leather seating to 50" screen 3-D TV's, to anything - is met. Of course, there is government oversight - making sure the products we buy are safe.
I don't think you have a full understanding of anarcho-communism. You wouldn't be running a company that makes tv's, and who would work for you if they're getting nothing out of it? Secondly, there'd be no government oversight because there'd be no government.
