      I recommend this video which talks about bartering and how our simplistic view of bartering is quite innacurate to how things worked pre-money societies.

      There is no evidence that bartering was a precursor to currency, in fact the opposite is more likely the case. Bartering is used by people who already have an understanding of currency when they don’t have money to use.

      it’s a metaphysical substance with vampiric properties.

      however, in my praxis and agitprop i do not fight against money or markets. i fight against capitalists inheriting all the wealth through a stock market riddled by Dark Pools and Arbitration and landlords that suck up a giant portion of our wealth (and even Adam Smith spoke against).
