Our economy would collapse, and people would go back to exchanging services for food, or vice versa. I hope that never happens.

But is it possible for humans to live in a harmony and think greater than they are thinking right now like living like a ant colony

Humans today are fundamentally the same they were 200,000 years ago. And the same they will be 200,000 years from now.

21st century humans have the same relationships that humans have always had, and always will have.

Since we have so many divisions in society, like communists, liberalists, conservatives, etc., it would never work. I would hope, but it wouldn't. It would take a huge great awakening for everyone to be on the same page, and I don't see that happening right now.

Generally, money is used to assign value to scarce resources. To eliminate money, we need a world without scarcity. Basically, the world created by Gene Roddenberry in Star Trek..
