Money is just a neutral system we use to keep tally of our possessions.

If there was no money, we would just find other things to be corrupt with. Corruption ALWAYS exists in a large-scale human system. Maybe in some 100-people Amish village there isn't corruption, but try a city of 20 million people, and there will be corruption.

Even look at the Communist system - when Stalin stopped crime by shooting anyone who dared to "think" about crime, his officials were still corrupt.


No matter what system of economics, politics, or even society we use, as long as there is lots of people, there will be lots of crime. So move to an Amish village if you want to live a crime-free lifestyle.


Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you.
