@x_cli@infosec.exchange If you're talking about me specifically. Then, I use money because that's the system I'm stuck in though rarely at the moment. I average about $10 a month. I buy used when I can. I grow what I can. I make what I can. I trade. I barter. I gift. I do mutual aid when I can.

Some of those things are alternative systems. But there are more than that which exist. Look into them sometime. You'll find if you look hard enough cities that have been created on such principles.

Also, an interesting read: 'The Dispossessed' by Ursula K. Le Guin pictures an entire planet that runs without capitalism.

If you want actionable steps you can do:
- Start a free library
- Start a lending library
- Do mutual aid
- Give things to those who need them
- Volunteer
- Grow some of your own food
- Learn to make something that lessens your dependence on capitalism (mending, repair, soldering, programming, etc.)
