Money in general becomes superfluous if all production and distribution is collectivized and run along a scientific plan. If you develop beyond markets, why do you need money?

Didn't I say "admirable future goal" rather than "good idea right now"? Eventually, society ought to progress to the point where money is no longer needed, through both development of productive forces and development of societal attitudes. This is the goal of communism. The concept of money is only a few thousand years old, and humanity existed for hundreds of thousands of years longer than it, so it's by no means impossible.

Did you ever watch the Star Trek shows? The Federation in Star Trek doesn't have money. Both because they have replicators and can instantly reproduce any item using only energy, but also because they're a more advanced society that has moved beyond needing a medium of exchange

And who is "the government"? Elected officials? Bureaucrats? Do you think the low-level grunts at the tax agency are living high on the hog? Or do elected officials take your money and hand it to their buddies in the form of lucrative government contracts? And who is elected? Capitalists consort with each other and choose who among them is to represent you. You're conflating the bureaucratic apparatus of the state with the class that controls it (capitalists) and in doing so losing sight of the actual material reality at play.

That's not how it works, the people work and capitalists make all of the money, and use the state to prevent people from getting uppity.

please reconcile this thought with police budgets, and then ask yourself what the police actually do and who they really protect

"I was referring to a thing that I imagined which has no relation to real life"

I would like it if you were to expound on this in detail
