    Money is like batteries of performed labour.

    Money is spent to leverage people’s labour.

    Even heads of state - kings, presidents, dictators - need money as the lever to get people to do the work that HoS is directing them towards. Or thugs with guns, but they’re in-turn leveraged via having money.

    It’s kind of important to me that people realise money isn’t “fake”, even when it becomes an abused and broken system. A currency can become worthless but money as a system will always be real.
