It would be a Utopia.
how would all this be paid for if no one worked
or if people did work but profit was not a driving motive therefore corporations didnt exist

where would the tax come from without corporations to drive the economy

Think about it. If you are hungry, you eat. If you want to play cricket, you play cricket. If you want to help teach English to Sudanese children, you can help them learn English. Etc.

Lots of people love gardening though. Especially if you can relax, have fun with friends doing it and have plenty of free time.

Cheese, do you know that to actually run a farm that is so productive that only a minority of a population need to farm requires a lot of capital. If you do it for free, how will farms be productive? Well, they won't be and everyone will either starve or become farmers.
