I did not mention disneyland

So I presume you are responding to other threads here?

Anyway, many people view burning man as an experiment in a different, non-commerce oriented way to have a community. As an experiment, we are there to learn and try to make alternative approaches work, or die trying. This doesn't mean that Disneyland is wrong, but it means we're trying to do it differently, so this requires that we not adopt the rules of Disneyland -- even the ones that work -- until it's shown we can't find other ways.

This may be counter intuitive. BM is not trying to be the best countercultural festival it can be. If it were, I agree markets might be the right approach to solve many issues.
