of course they don't abolish law of value, but they are a pretty good alternative to money until we reach absolute automation of work.
i mean, it's way better than a keynesian boureaucratic state…

I dont think anybody here is against labour vouchers unless they are delusional "communism will happen instantly".
Not neccecary, we just need to reach post-scarcity for enough commodities and enough automation that all the labour can be done voluntarily and the remaining scarce commodities (luxery goods) can be rationed.
Ohhh, ok. Wew, almost broke a sweat there, we just have to reach post scarcity.
Scarcity and finiteness arent the same.
post scarcity= absolute automation of work in the worst scenario, when people hate to work.
also tito established labour vouchers
They do.
i'm breaking so little sweats thanks to this thread!
Titoism doesnt have labour vouchers, and they existed way before tito ever supposedly "established" them
How do you keep labour vouchers from becoming scrip for the state?
Scrip as in the old company-town tactic of owning the houses and grocery store. Instead of paying the workers money, they paid them in scrip, which went to company-owned rent and food.
What % of your labour is converted into labour vouchers, what will be given to you as hard cash (to be spent on luxuries, saved, or given to charity)?
Without an idea on how to best balance the workers need for their work to be used for things that matter to them individually they will still be alienated from their work. You can buy a kg of rice with a labour voucher, can you buy a fast food meal? Do charities take labour vouchers? What is the value of a labour voucher I hide under my mattress for six months?
They are not an alternative to money you spastic retard, they are money. They're just a special kind of money that is significantly less useful then the currency people trade with today.
