Both US and EU should have done the same as Norwegian Government did during our banking crisis in the 90s. Let the banks fail, stocks to zero, no bailout of investors or paper/derivatives holders etc... then nationalize their brick and mortar operation so the real economy keeps functioning

People get the leaders they deserve, they are only a reflection of the population in general. No wonder it all went downhill when that collective came online. And yet in that process things have changed for the better. The old guard has to fight to preserve their hold on the narrative. Technology is the great equaliser and really the only thing that changes externalities apart from resources and nature in general. Externalities lead, then humanity follow. Culture and finally politics adapt, the rest is just rationalisation. I doubt this will change short of genetically altering ourselves. So if you want to improve the world, forget politics. I remain hopefully because today even just one person can write a piece of software and change the world

Collect taxes? I'm a leftie but you don't actually need to have taxes for a government to operate. Prevent money laundring and terrorism?? Lol as if that don't happen in the current system. It's more of a question of what group is allowed to do those things. Basically the state today are just eliminating competition. Andreas Antonopolous is pretty much dead on here. There are consumer protection and security aspects which we also should have with decentralised crypto solutions but for the most part the state we have today creates more problems than it solves. On top of that they just throw the rules out of the window if that benefits the little club at the top, not to mention millions of poor brown people who suffer when a state yields the total power of the population and economy to act like evil psychopaths against out-groups for financial gain.. but yes we must make systems that make their power impotent and obsolete

It's kinda funny how Americans still thinks US is doing shit to help anyone else besides themselves and their business interests. China is now doing the same thing the west/ImF/world Bank have always done. But in the case of China they don't run around toppling government and the countries do get general infrastructure while the west usually just built the bare minimum to get the resources out. Yes its imperialism but I'd take the Chinese version over the horrors of the western Empire any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
