What part of your belief system is violated if the nation state lost power over currencies? Democracy will still prevail in the alternative I am suggesting, it will just be defanged from a certain viewpoint.

I suggest reading the history of money. The current system is an aberration. Historically, with gold as the currency/gold standard, nation states couldn't inflate money away.



If democracy is defanged, it hasn't prevailed.

I'm not a reactionary and I don't think you are either. So how is this an argument? We got rid of the gold standard for good reasons.
