Nope. That’s bartering. When small children want to exchange goods, they don’t draw up paper to represent abstract value, they barter because it’s natural, then they need to be taught how capitalism works. People bartered and exchanged goods and services for thousands of years before capitalism came along.
This is the most idiotic take I’ve seen in a long time, children want to keep stuff for themselves or exchange it for something of “equivalent value” money is just a substrate because humans specialized in making different things, a baker can’t trade 10k breads for a new oven even if its the same value, this is because the bread goes bad before its used. Money is just something that we rely on for the sake of convenience.
Its logically the most natural way of doing things.
It’s not a take, it’s history. Like recorded history. My argument was for what is natural, not what is logical or better. Humans started bartering thousands of years before the invention of currency because it’s the quickest and most natural way of exchanging goods. No need for insults either, we’re just talking here, no need to get so hot and bothered over it.
Wrong again. Human society was around approximately 300,000 years before we invented currency, money as we know it was only really invented 5,000 years ago, so unless your argument is it took humans 300,000 years to do what came naturally to them then money isn’t really natural.
its impractical
You’re moving the goalpost again, my argument was for what is natural, not what is practical.
I think you forgot that humans, for their most time lived in very very little gettogethers like monkeys, the start of humanity is said to be the foundation of the first city, approximately 12000 years ago and humans used “money” before that, if it was gigantic stones that have Been named by the owner or if its small shells or anything similar.
Money isn’t just stuff give out by a government.
And no im saying that your argument is wrong because you missed the point that money is not capitalism, money is, as i said, a practical solution for trading stuff, the equivalent exchange is much much older(and the natural way, as its observed by even small animals), but it got impractical as society progressed into more specified jobs.
Anarchy is incompatible with humans in general but this is about the definition and not if its realistic.
So is capitalism.
No, capitalism is the most natural economic system.

No, it was a take, the history of non money society is super short because because its impractical as i explained.
