Regardless of what is the main role of money, it still has the trustless characteristics which means that it is playing into the hands of might and machine. The more a society revolves around money, the better the position for might and machine.
In opposition to might, I believe it is better to figure how we become as little dependent on money as possible.
Just note that I am an ancarist, I believe in a society without cars. Or for that matter, any production that would require the structure of the machine. So Id be against asphalt, fertilizers, and sement to mention a few.

Sounds like what you are describing is doing away with modernity altogether. And that’s where you lose me and probably most people on the planet. There’s no way I’m going to endorse reverting back subsistence farmers. We already know that doesn’t solve anything. Pre modern civilizations were far from peaceful utopias.
The difference is that we are now much more aware of diverse farming. Moving away from monoculture will strengthen both our ecosystems and humanity. If we cling to monoculture and oil, it will be our downfall.
The point just flew over your head in a 747. You ask the average person in any developed country if they want to give up all modern technology and go be a farmer, they’ll just laugh at you. Try to force them, and that laughing will stop real quick.
Let me ask you specifically. Would you like to live in a planet where you can see the stars at the night sky? Would you like to live in town that is woven together? Where children can freely go outside to play? Where people knock on each others doors to pay a visit? Where grandparents are taken care of by their children? And where you play cards with your friends every night? Where the asphalt is scraped to make room for public gardening of all kinds of food?
Id give up technology immidiately. Especially as my stress levels would be turned down ten notches.
