How is not caring about things having a "value" being a nihilist? If everything is absolutely free for everyone, you see that as a bad thing?

“Nothing holds any value” and “nothing costs any money” are two entirely different ideas. The former is nihilism. The latter is communism.

Neither paint a pretty picture in my book

Define "pretty" picture. Everything free for everyone aka communism sounds amazing and tell me how it's better than what we have now with people starving and child amputees having to beg for pagpag in dumps of Manila.
