I don't think Chairman Mao or Stalin are good examples of abolishing left-Libertarianism or abolishing money. They were about as irrational as one would expect a tyranny to be.

But there is a point to abolishing money--the most obvious one being it is rooted in abstraction. It is something people apply to a given situation, and therefore is not an absolute necessity. It is backed by force, which is ultimately where its "worth" come sfrom. It is worth believing in it as opposed to being thrown out on the street and condemned by mainstream society.
