| − | I propose considering that the basis of the whole problem with the monetary system lies in the pursuit of profit, as expressed in Zeitgeist: Addendum and sustained in ZMF. The whole purposes of the pursuit of profit are a having a priority access to desired scarce resources, and access to property.

| | | | |
| − | The reason for an RBE not to use money is to avoid such priority access to scarce resources, which invariably leads to artificially caused scarcities, and scarce resources used for personal satisfaction as opposed to for social benefit. An example for this that has some popularity is the gold toilet.<ref>[http://www.subzin.com/quotes/Zeitgeist%3A+Moving+Forward/Or,+it+may+be+money+demand%0D%0A+wants+a+gold+toilet+seat.Gold toilet seat example in in ZMF]</ref>

| − | The problem with property is that as soon as someone has some kind of property, it immediately becomes an artificially created scarce resource, that may lead to competition.

| − | Rights are protected by law (what is being referred in the article as ''more complex rules''), produced by legislation, and enforced by police and the justice system, including punishment methods. It is for this reason that in a RBE there are no rights, as they cannot be enforced due to the (intentional) lack of police or punishing methods.

| − | The lack of rights and property are inherent, defining and unavoidable characteristics of the RBE system. Enable them through quirky approaches can only cause general disruption, confusion, and a seed for the collapse of the system. The system cannot enable the pursuit of profit, enable any kind of differential advantage for personal gain or pleasure.

| − | Access to scarce resources for personal gain or pleasure is different than diferential advantage for purposes of high quality communal goods, services or research. A musical master may have differential advantage in accessing the best quality instruments as a result of their mastery. Someone who provides a service for hairdressing might have differtial advantage in using the best scissors. Someone who is in a chemistry lab doing research may have differential access to raw materials for the purpose of their research. All of this would be managed by the intelligent management of available resources system, according to skill, trajectory, purpose, benefit, cost, trustworthiness, and collective objectives for development.
