Precious metals were used as international currency for milennia. How exactly could something that works very well be said to "not work well in practice"?

If the shit hits the fan, how much do you think you'll be worrying about sending currency of any kind to the other end of the earth in minutes?

You think you'll be able to depend on Electricity and Internet being there to trade?

Nothing this decade shocked me more than when the Democratic candidate for president started bragging that a bunch of the Bush administration really liked him.

It's like Superman coming up and going "you know, Zod really likes me!" -- completely nuts.

To be fair, at this point astroturfing is so deep you can never even tell whether a crowd is there because they want to be there or because they've been paid to be there.

Sometimes I forget because der fuhrer has deemed me a racist sexist misogynistic homophobic transphobic far right American Russian bot for not supporting his policies, but there are people labeled conservative out there who actually are conservative.

There's another element that you're not taking into account, and that is that while people generally want to minimize labor, it is a requirement for fulfillment as a human being. If you want to murder a man without a murder weapon, take away all need to labor. He'll be dead in a few years.
