If you have to owe or be owed that creates both inherent inequality and instability.
There is no way to create a long-term sustainable society without finding a balance where everyone has enough of everything and no one has too much of anything. Only then, when finances are made irrelevant, can we ever have peace.

Re: the necessity of rights
I don’t think so, but perhaps you can convince me that if you must be a debtor or a creditor, then that creates instability.
It sounds as though you are saying that there’s no way to have a sustainable society without socialism. There are many who would consider your statement to be debatable at the least.
Finances will never be irrelevant to humans nor to societies. Money is a placeholder for goods and services that are held relevant and valuable to human beings.

Finances as they currently exist include needing to do work that is untethered from your skills and interests just as remuneration is untethered from value to society and spending power is untethered from production costs. Everything we understand about finances, economics, and currency today could be changed.
