This is true. The people of toki pona land don't want (need) cloths. These people run (around) with no cloths. These people don't want to do this: a person comes to have money for clothing. (They won't want to work for wages for clothing)

Because of this, I think. the people of toki pona land don't want cloth (bolts of fabric), they don't use cloths (the stuff you buy at Macy's).

Yup, another case of accidental subordination.

So... Toki Pona Land is inhabited by lazy naked people? Interesting hypothesis, but what does* this have to do with writing systems?

*or did, rather as the thread is five yrs old...
