      Just because you’re not a fan or can’t imagine it because of the bullshit stories about how money was invented you got fed during ideology classes doesn’t mean it won’t happen.

      We has robust centralized tates building wonders and collecting taxes many centuries before we had money. Money comes from hostile transient populations doing war. It is cousin and fig leaf to pillage; it is a fundamentally military technology, as much as the cannon the MRAP and the air dropped mobile burger king-maybe a little more than the cannon. It is not necessary for and may be inimical to peaceful prosperous society.

      Please think before you speak.

      Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.

      It is entirely realistic. Money has existed for barely a fraction of humanity’s existence. It can disappear just as easily as it was adopted.
