I think it's the closest to anti-work life. I've been working to create a network of people and communities living without money. To show people an alternative system. A moneyless society.

I would love it as it would be so much more efficient. Part of hoarding is people thinking they need something just in case. If they know they always have access then they don't need to use up the space they are at and often times they rarely if ever have used it. Like I have a bunch of hand tools but I only use any particular one once in a great while but when you need it you need it. Only problem I can see is liability and people not caring for what they borrow.

Not terribly much, no, but knock yourself out. Voluntaristic gift economies don’t scale and don’t threaten capitalist state.

The Black Panther’s Free Breakfast Program for Children wasn’t a gift economy project but a mass line project, a dual power project, a political education & organizing project.

You might like this article about additive economics, although imo it would only be viable in sectors where there is no longer scarcity.
