    someone without the mental illness of greed will eventually replace the farmer.

    This would result into some kind of farm run by the community, which means that volunteers are working on the farm, providing free food to everyone. However, this begs the question if the food produced by inexperienced volunteers with good intentions is sufficient to feed an entire village, town, city or a country.

    EDIT: I would like to add that I’m definitely not opposing this kind of farm and I’m very much aware of the major flaws in capitalism.

        I’m no professional historian or anything, but as far as I know, back in prehistoric era hunters & gatherers used to share basically everything with each other without anything in return.

        When the people stopped moving around and settled at one place to farm land, the first agricultural society was founded, where people didn’t use money but goods (such as food itself) as a currency to trade with each other.

        Once again, I’m not a professional historian, just a guy who read some books, so feel free to correct me.
