>What is a productive answer?
The practical end of categorised human beings;
The end of labour (human activity, time, life) as a commodity;
The end of the illusion that all things are exchangeable for every other thing;
The end of the illusory primacy of exchange-values (money) as the only
"real" value;
The end of corporate "persons" at law and the removal of their rights as
persons;
The end of the private ownership of land;
The end of inheritance laws;
The end of intellectual property laws;
The end of the idea that productive activity can only produce use-values;
The end of utility as an ideal;
An understanding that waste can be productive;
An understanding that ignorance is the raw material of wisdom, as well as
one of its by-products;
An understanding that humans are a single species united in their humanity
and nothing else;
An understanding that what we say is something that we do (material action);
An understanding that what we do affects everything we are as a species;
An understanding that everything all of us needs already exists and has
done for almost a century;
An understanding that we all need each other.
.
Can such answers be practically "produced" other than in the imagination?
