Why do you think modern governments are the only type of government there has ever been?

I never said that.

Yet you keep acting like it. Currency came well after governments, because you need a government to regulate the value of currency and give it stability.

Bartering existed before currency, perhaps you're thinking of bartering and confusing it with the idea of money. They are not the same thing in case you weren't aware.

I've given you everything that you need to learn about why you're wrong. Your refusal to give up on your wrong-headed notions and assumptions indicates that you're not actually interested in having a conversation about this or learning when you are wrong. have a nice day.

Your refusal to understand the difference between bartering and money is making it impossible to educate you on why you are wrong. Debt is not money, bartering is not money, they are different concepts.
