So I've heard from various posts that currency would be abolished, or at least the worth of it. Other posts I've heard that it will remain but everyone would be getting paid the same or be replaced with "Labour Vouchers".

So what would it be and if it is abolished where would we be able to get things such as art and other extra goods that are not socialized? And how would the creators of these products get paid? and if they don't why would the continue to create them?

We, as the left, work towards the abolition of currency. However, this process takes a while, and will not be effective right after the revolution. Pay would take the form of something more useful, like basic needs, I would think. Wait...that doesn't sound right. Can anyone elaborate?

The goal of communism is the abolition of the commodification of labor power. When the fruits of our labor are shared, when unnecessary personal excess is not valued, money is superfluous.
