[I'm] of the position that a post-capitalist system of abstracted material valuations -- if any -- should *not* represent / be transferable for actual material items. Instead, with all goods and services, assets and resources being *collectivized*, the material domain would be basically freely available, like nature itself, though mediated through a collective-political process.

What's always at issue is human *labor* -- *that's* what I think should be the 'independent variable' to be qualified and quantified as well as possible, to serve as the determining source of all other political and economic activity in a post-capitalist social environment. In my conception (accessible as a model at my blog entry) self-selected actions of freely given liberated labor would entitle the laborer to, in turn, authorize the same from others, going forward, in a like proportionate quantity.

Since all of the material proceeds (goods and services) from such liberated labor effort would already have been pre-planned by the larger collective-political process, the output of all liberated labor would always be *collectivized* and *not* under the control of any individual liberated laborer, or grouping of liberated laborers. Therefore there would be no need for the abstract valuation of material items (goods and services) whatsoever -- only the co-administration of them as collective assets and resources according to their basic physical properties.

Nice information you got there.

Rotation system of work roles

- [The rotation system is specifically geared towards the structure of a communist society because] both models require an economy and society that is post-commodity-production, with fully collectivized means of mass industrial production. This would enable people to produce at-will for human need instead of for commodity production, for the generation of private profits. A liberated labor would be free of duress for the basics of life and living this way since it would be self-liberated from having to produce for commodity production. Everything produced from collectivized implements would be for distribution to satisfy human need, and nothing else.

- I hesitate to proclaim the rotation system as being capable of being fully scaled-up to provide a comprehensive framework for all of post-capitalist society. [T]here would quickly be larger-scale political issues that would arise that might be too "top-down", or broad-ranging, for the simplistic rotation system to handle. That's why I advocate the 'communist supply & demand -- Model of Material Factors' as a more-flexible system for a population of millions and billions. The rotation system could be used *within* the larger system, limited to relatively small-scale, local work groups of like-minded participants.

- [K]now-how itself -- as for the medical field or whatever -- would be fully collectivized as well -- think of it as 'collective intelligence'. Unfortunately, today, "intelligence" is hyper-compartmentalized and hyper-individuated due to the commodification of labor (people) itself, so that everyone is measured, sized-up, tracked, etc., as the commodities we've been made into. Once freed from this need for labor commodification-individuation we would be able to simply task the relevant know-how to the situation at hand, among those most interested and affected, with a minimum of abstracted material tracking.
