People who believe money is just a story or a shared fiction are completely retarded.

And in doing so they lost track of the only thing Marx got right which is historical materialism.

Hey who you calling a retard?

It's right up there with language as the greatest human innovation and almost nobody appreciates it.

Well it's the only way to possibly defend fiat.

It doesn't work, but it's the only narrative option.

Shared fictions aren't a bad thing, some would say they have enabled the most important things humanity has ever done. Some shared fictions: religions, governments, nation states, corporations. So any time you want to organize larger than a few people people you are going to need a shared fiction.

Your list of "shared fictions" are the greatest killers in all of human history. Govts killed like half a billion in the 20th century alone.

For sure, it just accelerates the impulses of mankind... or atleast the impulses of the men that hold the reins of power. I'm sure those people are God fearing, honest, moral men. So... no worries

I tell those people to hand over their fictitious money and they always refuse for some reason.
