Money. Fiat money specifically. The Federal reserve was established in 1912 and broke the constitution. they can print money and give it to who they want. subsidies to supplement practices the want. the last big military movements have been into countries without a IMF central bank. they're getting rid of cash and moving to central bank digital currencies so they can apply negative interest rates directly to people's accounts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyV0OfU3-FU&list=PLE88E9ICdipidHkTehs1VbFzgwrq1jkUJ this is a playlist that goes over the history of money and how empires manipulate it and how it affects their rise and fall. This isn't new the roman empire did the exact same thing, and the people pulling the strings on that fall ended on top to create the new world order, as they are attempting again on a grander scale with tech unfathomable to the common person. after much research i have decided that bitcoin could have been a solution but was corrupted by the blockstream team. Monero may be a viable free currency for humanity, but i still need to learn more to verify this.
Edit:/TLDR:: Fiat money allows for them to decide where energy is invested.

My biggest goal in life is to establish a currency if you will, or a way to establish a market without fiat or crypto. I'm not hinting at a commune but more of an advanced way to barter or other possible options..an agora??
Hmmm, I follow. So who would own this bank? Or have a say? Furthermore how do we establish were to funnel said money. Or would only the heads of the cooperatives have a say? That could be dangerous. Perhaps I'm more radical in this regard because I'm not even sure we should have a bank. Or any central financial institution. So ofcourse you could ask "well then how the fuck would a market or society function?" This is mainly the question I'm tackling and currently trying to solve. I'm not one to believe that a central financial institution legitimizes a market. Supply and demand can work in barter, service trade, and agora markets. Personally I'm thinking more along the lines of essentially humbling humanity and turning a blind eye to most tech, currency, and politics. Modern tech, currency (fiat or crypto), and some science (politics( has severely goosetepped humanity into vulnerability. Perhaps I misinterpreted what you were thinking of. Let me know this topic interests me. Sorry for the word salad lol
Edit: also an agora/barter society cant be bought by foreign markets. Its sole power and function relies heavily on local affairs and trade.
this is why i like monero
