The Federation (the socialist utopia you reference) doesn't use Latium, thats usually used by societies (mostly The Ferengi, a commentary on late-stage capitalism) that still barter using currency.

The image doesn't preview, on kbin.social, for me. But clicking the title when in the comments will take me to the imgur page. Kind of inconvenient, but ultimately accessible.
Apologies if this is a basic question, but I am curious to know what I am missing out on by not having access to private torrents? I have been able to find everything I wanted using public ones.
