That requires a basically unanimous raising of class consciousness. I just don’t see that happening anytime soon. We’re just not wired that way on a scale above small communities. Even without currency, hoarders gonna hoard. Before we had currency, we had people hoarding resources directly. It works in Star Trek because they’re post-scarcity.
Until we’re post-scarcity, we need a way to exchange goods and services on a scale larger than a neighborhood.

We are post scarcity, on basic needs.
Don’t think that’s gonna be enough.
