Remember, as far as Ra concerned, things like property and government are simply the games we're playing here on Earth. From his POV, our entire plane of existence is basically imaginary.
When he says things like
From everything I've read from his comments on human life, he doesn't consider either alternative to be "better" than the other, in the grand scheme. He's making purely dry commentary: These are the choices humanity is making. And those choices are creating the experiences through which the Creator grows and we in turn grow closer to the Creator.
By choosing money over barter, we encourage certain games and depreciate others. It's not like one path or the other could be termed strictly STS or STO. People manage to be a-holes in *every* game, haha. Money has many very useful features and CAN be used in a highly Positive manner. Or not.

)
That's just part of the game, and it shapes the opportunities wherein a being is able to choose between the STO and STS paths. No matter who loses, the Creator wins and, thereby, we all win... in the long run, anyway.
(Besides... it seems HIGHLY likely that we're going to evolve into a post-money culture before too long. I don't think it's Bitcoin that's going to do it, but I do think it's the shape of things to come. And once money becomes purely virtual, that's going to change a lot about how people think of it. Global e-currency is a big step towards a more globally socialized system.)
