Is this correct?

This was my first long hard think and below is the result.
A farmer grows food for the state. He keeps enough to support himself and family, the rest he gives to the Gov. The Gov supplys goods to the Grocers. In this case it is apples, each apple is worth 5p. The owner sells the apple for 10p he keeps 5p enough (with enough apples) to feed his family ect. The remaining 5p goes back to the Gov, which puts the money into industry. The industry sells its product to stupid forigners. The money made from this all goes to the state and the factory workers, enabling the workers to buy the apples.

This is my system it works best with a diagram i may include later....

Ps please send improvemnts as this is only a rough draft.

not quite sure but there should be no need for money in a communist utopia.

Would apple farmers just live on apples?

Foreigners don't like being thought or called "stupid"...they might boycott your goods in protest.

Think some more. :cool:

"i think the apples represent goods and services redstar"

Yes, maybe i should have been a little clearer.

"not quite sure but there should be no need for money in a communist utopia. "
I have heard this but all money is, is an extension of trade, and for this system you need trade, but i see your point.

After a revolution, we can't step over to a money free country at once. AK's system could be a good (temporary) solution.

I'm not sure of what I'm saying but there is maybe a problem:

The farmer keeps a part of his production and give the rest to the state. But the farmer don't product everything he needs. And he has no wage to buy what he needs because he gives to the state the part of his production that he don't consume.
So I think that there is a risk of fraud with farmers who keep more than they need in order to exchange with others farmers and with groceries.
I think that the state must help financially farmers.
Maybe a part of the money earn with exportations can be given to farmers.
