> institutional racism, police killings, homelessness, drug addiction, political oligarchy, rapidly rising secondary education costs, etc. There is no effective solution to any of these problems. Nothing works. They are consequences of the money. We use money because we do not understand each other. Money is far more than a commodity. It has its own live and rules. What is possible is to do small tunings with taxes and laws. That's all. If you take big revolutionnary measures, you will destabilize the money system and everything will be broken like in 1929. Another approach is real anarchist communism but it doesn't scale. It works only locally. That's why some libertarians are for feodalism.
