Who will provide goods and services for every individual?

Do you support slave labor or something?

Wage slavery is slave labor-…

No barter.  Simply produce enough food that there is enough food.  Simply produce enough TVs so that everyone who wants a TV can have a TV.

Scarcity is illusory at this point.
Decide what to produce with internet based polling of the population.

Excuse me for asking this, but have you ever had a job or volunteered your labor?

Yes, I work about 14 hours a day actually.  I would continue to do my job after the abolition of the wage system, because I’m proud to do an honest day’s work, my work makes people happy and it’s nice making people happy.  I probably wouldn’t work hours as long as I currently work, but with increasing mechanization of production, and the upcoming self driving car and thus decreased demand for labor overall there’d be more people freed up to take up the slack.

I like to do my part, and with the abolition of unnecessary white collar and bureaucratic positions we’ll likely have an excess of labor.

Well if you are being honest, which I doubt is true, then you’re an exception to the rule that has held true for thousands of years. The vast majority of people do not work for self gratification.

Can you point to a single example of a functional syndicalist society in history?

It hasn’t been tried.  Can you point out an example of a capitalist society that didn’t result is starvation, death of preventable disease, homelessness and the death of millions?

Can you point out an example of a stateless capitalist society working?

And I’m being honest, I’m a phone sex operator, I take calls whenever they come in, whether it’s 5 in the morning or 2 in the afternoon or 11 at night. I’m also a professional dominatrix, and although it’s not sexually gratifying for me seeing clients happy means the world to me.  I’ve also been a nanny, and an assistant to disabled young people.

And let me tell you something, my specific job as an assistant to disabled young people was to help them find and do jobs and they didn’t do this for survival, most of them lived at home and were supported by family and the state, they didn’t do this for pocket money, they did this because they wanted to contribute.  It is unnatural for humans not to work, we get depressed, feel hopeless, useless, purposeless.  Humans are a cooperative, social species, we do not like to watch others toil while we sit idle.  We are industrious and hard working by nature.

The myth of human laziness is just that, a myth.  

There is no freedom without freedom from want.
