Before the Tower of Babel, I believe they had a kind of socialist or tribal system, with no monetary system, (see some prior posts)... The people's names were connected to who they were or what they produced (for the community as a whole) or what their job or profession was, or what they did or provided, etc, cause names in Hebrew were always tied to that, or very, very much were before, after the Tower of Babel, etc, the name was the thing, or the person, "meant the thing" or person, or was the thing that did, (the word did) (defined or meant the thing, etc, or person, etc), or was very much greatly tied to who they were, or who they were to be, or become, or do, or provide, etc...
Also the things themselves, the names or words used for them also, were also greatly tied to what they were, or did, and or provided, or were used for, and/or I guess you could say "was" basically, etc, or at least that's the way they "saw things" (and people) back then, etc, and this came out, and/or was in and/or was directly reflected in their "language", etc...
After the Tower of Babel that all changed, but that was how it was before that, etc, and is still somewhat reflected still in and with the Hebrews after that still somewhat, with how God would name a thing or person or change their names, etc, or a Hebrew person would name an altar or place or thing, etc, and/or is still even somewhat reflected in the Hebrew language today, albeit still not the exact same as it was before the Tower of Babel though...
And they made sure the whole community was taken care of, if say, a person was disabled or elderly or could no longer work or produce, etc, or also if there was either no place found for them to produce a thing, or just "no need for them to", etc, they were (all) still taken care of, and no one was ever without at least their most basic needs being met ever, etc...
I don't know how anything like this could work today, and I honestly don't think it could anymore, we have the idea and concept of "money" now, etc, and everything is tied to that now, etc...?
I don't know how it would not end in some kind of "class system" either...? Maybe everyone's bare or basic needs or "absolute basic necessities" or needs could be met and/or provided for, by the minimal requirements of those who were able to produce, or with whom a need was found for them to provide or produce, etc, anyway, maybe those able to produce or provide a thing, or need was found for them to, or be able to, (provide a thing, etc) (goods or services, etc), after they had met the "minimal requirements" maybe (to take care of the community or the rest of the others, etc) anyway, whatever was "beyond that" maybe, they might be able to trade in for more "bigger and better things" maybe, or more "luxury items" maybe, etc, I don't know...?
Like I said I don't think it could work anymore now, but also my point was also about those who before the Tower of Babel in the Bible and "reversing Genesis", etc (see prior posts)...
Anyway,
God Bless!
Trade may have not even really existed before the Tower of Babel, at least not trade with other tribes or nations or other peoples different from them, etc, the things produced or made or provided were just turned into the government for distributing and providing for the people, or the whole community, etc, and it was not a "poor system", they were actually much richer than any other tribes or nations (that they maybe had not encountered or run into yet), that maybe did have monetary systems or did engage in trade with other peoples, or tribes and/or nations or peoples, different from them, etc, (that they may not have met or run into yet, etc)...
But they were very "rich" really, and extremely prosperous, among their own selves, and among their own people and/or land(s), and own kind anyway...
Everyone, "EVERYONE", was very much well provided for, and taken care of, etc, even if no need was found for them to do or provide anything, etc, or they were elderly or disabled, etc, all very well taken care of and/or provided for, etc, no one ever in any kind of lack or need ever, not a single one, especially not ever severe lack or need ever, etc, and even the people who provided or produced did not have to "slave" to do it or do so either, it was a very "cushy" life and existence for them all, etc... Lot's of "free time" for them all, etc... People who did "work" (to provide or produce, etc) did so cause they "wanted to", etc, and not because they "had to", etc...
And there may have even been a certain kind of "pride" involved in those with whom there was a need found for them to do so, so that they "wanted to" and enjoyed it and loved it, etc... Might have been a certain amount of "prominence" or "fame" or "notoriety" involved in it as well, and their children sometimes followed and walked in that also, etc... So that they were very glad they could do it for the whole community and were "proud" that they could do it and/or "be it" (names again) and/or provide it, etc...
The people who did "quote/unquote" "work", also saw it it as what they were created and/or born for or meant to do, and is was 100% in line with their natural dispositions, or own natural inborn talents/passions or predispositions, etc, and not a single one of them ever regretted that ever, or ever came to hate it/that at all ever at all, etc... They were honored to be chosen for a thing, if they were one of the ones chosen for a thing, etc, etc, etc...
No one was a slave to anything at all, ever, not a single one, they were an extremely "free people", etc, and everyone, EVERYONE, every single one lived a very, very good life and all was well taken care of and provided for, etc, no lack of anything at all, for anyone at all, "ever", etc... I could go on, but think I'll stop there for now... Very free people, etc, all of them, etc, no one ever in lack or need, etc, and none of them were slaves in any kind of way, to anything, ever, etc...
(But then we saw what they did or tried to do with that kind of freedom in the end though didn't we, right?)
Anyway, I wouldn't even know where to start of begin to be able to be going back to it or that kind of thing, etc...?
I don't think it would work now or anymore, etc, or it just can't cause we can't even conceive of it now or anymore, etc... Maybe with Christ's leadership and rulership maybe...? But not apart from that or Him, I don't think, etc...
Like I said "reversing Genesis", etc... I think Christ will be doing that, taking us all the back to the Garden of Eden, or the Earthly/Heavenly Paradise, where Heaven and Earth were "joined at the hip" and were "One", etc...
God Bless!
