  You can restructure society to not require profit. The economy exists currently purely to increase consumption and thus profit, rather than to fulfill uses.

    How do you define profit? If you mean creating value- no, you can’t. Life requires consumption of value. That is food, that is water, and medicine.

    No. It exists because people want to exchange what they have for what they want.

      Profit is producing to sell goods in a positive feedback loop for more money. You don’t need to have profit.

        So your issue is people consensually exchanging their labor?
