It's practically impossible to not participate completely, since the government doesn't recognize the freedom from money.
Minimizing one's participation can be done through making conscious choices. I choose to keep my income and expenses small. I rely on sharing what I have and asking others to give. I choose to believe there's enough resources in the world for everyone, though the distribution of the resources may lead to localized scarcity.
I'll also be testing the legal theory of the freedom from money. I practice a religion of my own design where that freedom naturally arises from foundational principles.

- crawfordcomeaux 9y agoJust because it isn't 100% possible doesn't mean we can't minimize things now. We have a government that requires money to interact with it for now. I can choose which direction I want to move toward and so can you. Simply because I can't guarantee 100% extraction from capitalism at the moment doesn't mean I can't start moving away from it.
