the purpose of a system where we exchange money for goods and services should be for everyone to have goods and services, not for everyone to fight over who has the most money

The error was assuming the system has a purpose. It is a byproduct of years of development in the relations between people and objects

I also wanted to say this. The system as it currently is doesn’t have an over-arching “point” at all; the powerful actors within it fight to accumulate capital while the rest of us are paid wages we need to buy things to survive. It serves no purpose
