RE: Question for the Guys who don't want a Government
No, the concept of banks came later but even before the Greeks they already had metal coins that in themselves were worth nothing, but they were backed by city states, so for about all of what is called history money has existed in one way or another and there has always been a central power that backs it. Whether it was the Chinese, Alexander the Great, the Romans etc. I am not saying I am for or against it I just don't see how you can change this system for something better, and that is what I am looking for.
Come on! Tribes and people have been trading metals and baubles and other trinkets for all human history without a centralized authority. Where are you getting that idea from? Those places didn't have the Internet. They didn't have the SWIFT payment system. There was no digital age. Control as you are suggesting was not possible and did not exist. Period. People traded on their own.
When the Vikings raided you and took your silver and gold, they needed the Holy Roman Emperor to make what they stole valuable? No, it was valuable in and of itself. /sigh
No, I think you don't understand what I am saying or you are not trying to, you are talking about tribes I am talking about a country with a population of over 330 million. Look anarchism, libertarianism communism do exist together and in a successful manner in certain Kibbutz in Israel but only because their population is limited to about 100 settlers,, if that population were to go up they would implode, which is why they limit the number of members. But anyway I guess you have made your points I tried to make mine, maybe we can agree on something some other time.
