Well, the currency monopoly and the traceability of everything strengthens the state and corporations too much. This harms peripheral communities more than the rich…
There is no such thing as balanced capitalism. It is not possible for the masses to have the same power as corporations, magnates and the capitalist state. This is all utopian or cynical.
When we overcome this economic model and its old institutions and classes, then yes, a State will be born that has collectivity, communities and progress as its basic principle.
