  1. I'm still wondering why we don't get rid of money. Not just physical money like cash and coins, but all money, credit cards, etc. Think star trek (post 1986 movie The Voyage Home). Post scarcity isn't technically needed for many things. There's enough grain (and possibly fruit) produced in the US to feed every person to the point they can't eat anymore. Automation and better machines do this. If there's enough abundance, "buy" (ask the baker) for as much bread as you want, order as much food as you want at the local cafe, "buy" as many action figures and manga as you want. If not in abundance, set up a library for non-essentials (stuff besides housing, food, utilities, education, and healthcare) where people can read books and play with action figures. Can even have private family rooms instead of checking out. I don't know what this is called, but I'm in favour of that system.

  2.  @REDFISTmedia  Thank you for your response. I can see the economic system possibly resembling this, but I don't know if the govt system I and others envisioned are in the Communist manifesto. Instead of a board and supreme soviet, I envisioned a political version of the collective bargaining agreement, where consensus between unions, environmental associations, free speech associations, free beliefs associations, and cooperative federations would decide laws and such. Even star trek didn't have the latter—they bounced between a UN-style galactic assembly to an american-style presidential system with a separate congress.
