Crime Against Humanity: “Legal” Tender, or The Moneypoly of Moneypulation, 6

Imperialists and colonisers know and use this despicable dirt trick regularly to implement their exploitation: once I have invaded you, I kindly ask you at gunpoint to use my money, paying the taxes I wring out of you included. Legal tender is the economic implementation of sheer force as the source of law, and that force is only as possible and strong as its victims agree with it, even though only passively.
And once again the importance of the agreement and monopoly factors helps to highlight the relationship between monetary sovereignty and legal tender: monetary sovereignty with fiat money is the faculty to create purchasing power out of nothing and legal tender is the agreement of the victim to acknowledge this purchasing power, whatever way such agreement is produced, at gunpoint or by fraud, deceit or manipulation. The point here is that the first is powerless without the second: as to agreement, the criminals may create all the fiat money they wished but it would never become purchasing power unless and until the victims agreed, even only by not dissenting; as to monopoly, if legal tender laws and practices did not set up the monopoly of monetary sovereignty, the victims would be free to choose between that fiat money and its possible competitors.
Speaking of imperialisms, colonialisms, nationalisms and other such “isms”, not only we have already learned for good that the answer to any war among the poor is never to compete for a pile of bones but is rather to track the meat; it is also worth to highlight here how monetary nationalism is but a tool to these aims: individuals acting as third parties twist the roots of life from brotherhood to enmity, twisting ethical nationalism as responsibility for one’s area into non−ethical nationalism as irresponsibility towards anybody else’s areas, and then not only use it to fool and turn us all against each other, but chiefly as the international form of legal tender. The stronger the legal provisions against the use of other nations’ moneys, the lesser our freedom to make them compete for our trust.
And indeed the same applies to any alternative form of money.
