    Good time to remind there exist two “models” of economy:

    Commodity- Money- Commodity (where money is used for the sole purpose of getting commodities like house, food, clothes, healthcare, …)

    Money-Commodity-Money (Where the purpose of money is to turn commodities in more money, so the end goal is getting more money).

    The first one is okay. Humans always did it.

    The second one is a disease that starter with what we call “nowadays” Capitalism.

     

    I’m saying that because I see on real life a lot of people conflating the two and thinking that “ending capitalism”==“ending comerce/trade/barter” when the truth is that “ending capitalism”==“ending hoarding wealth like a dragon”
