LVs would have their own problems-- if I do work for someone else, can they just create LVs to give to me? Do they get to create however many they want?
The answer is no in both instances, hence why labor vouchers are only sensible in a centralized and publicly owned and planned economy that has gotten rid of the necessity for small commodity producers.
All work would be paid for. Volunteering to help someone out isn’t the same as working a job, and moreover the need to volunteer would be minimized before such a system could take place to begin with.
You’d get a job in the public sector, now the only sector. Various economic decisions are made at local, regional, global, etc levels by councils, planners, elected officials, etc.
I never claimed there was anything wrong with money? As far as I thought, I was arguing that it was a tool so useful it would be reinvented if a society did away with it.
I’m asking what’s wrong with money that carries over to LVs. Why is money an issue?

Interesting. That could work. Feels a little draconian though.
How so?
Mostly that the central planning authority gets to decide which work is meaningful enough to get paid for

All work would be paid for? Who decides what “work” is?

Sure, but I think it’s an entirely different thing at that point even if it is used for distribution.
