While societal control is maintained by pushing financial obligation to the masses, both debts and taxes represent the nuclear upgrade to capitalism that unilaterally enforces the system.
Debt grants its users a taste of what they can not yet afford, subsequently reinforcing the notion that work is equal to progress while also ensuring continuous participation within the larger financial system.
Taxes guarantee the debt-free still participate in commerce. One cannot simply be self-sufficient when property taxes are due annually.
Within this system, every citizen must participate in some form of commerce to meet those obligations. Neither goats nor gold can satisfy this bill; hard currency is required.
This construct does not benefit the majority, only those who hold power and seek to keep it. Neither currency nor commerce represent the underlying problem; they are merely instruments designed to thieve power from man.
