You're making a massive bet on your own ideas being right (and useful): learning what is normally taught has at least been proven out to keep people off the streets. We don't actually have the "freedom from money," so you'd be in a pretty bad position if you had no idea how to get it.

(note: if you have a trust fund set up or something, then I guess it balances out. Just get ready for them to rebel in their teens by becoming neoliberals and putting up posters of Henry Kissinger on their walls.)

You may be right. And while we may not have the freedom from money enshrined in current laws, money is not a human need, so we have an inalienable right to choose whatever strategy we want, as long as it doesn't harm others.

Ultimately, for the time being, we can only seek to minimize how we interact with money until the law catches up with human understanding. It's really hard to dump capitalism altogether and/or overnight, so it's about progressively stepping down/back.
