Why Do We Use Money?

So prior to the use of money when the ancient indigenous people accessed resources they needed based on a system of reciprocity (indirect exchanges) where their contribution of supplies to local and distant designated areas kept them from having to rely on DIRECT EXCHANGES (Bartering), wasn't already a reflection of value and societal organization? They didn't already have trust and a shared agreement on value? Unmolested indigenous people did not barter (direct exchange). And the definition of money is referenced as, "A means of or medium of exchange to facilitate a trade." The fact that a medium is needed to assist with a trade is because trading (barter) was not working. So these indigenous people didn't know bartering was not working for them until the masters of colonialism stepped on the scene? Colonialism landed on indigenous people with a mandate that as a conquered people the resources no longer belonged to them. If indigenous people were caught assisting one another by using their system of reciprocity (which indicates they are not a defeated people) then they faced consequences of everything being destroyed along with additional deaths of the people. The mandate was for the conquered people to barter. The ultimate goal of colonialism is to seize the way people access resources to the degree that they reply on their rulers. Once the rulers have a solid hold on the resources necessary for stability, they can tokenize their rulership with a monetary system. This is why you use money.

So prior to the use of money when the ancient indigenous people accessed resources they needed based on a system of reciprocity (indirect exchanges) where their contribution of supplies to local and distant designated areas kept them from having to rely on DIRECT EXCHANGES (Bartering), wasn't already based on simplified transactions? They didn't already have a universally accepted value for the indirect exchange system they had? They weren't functioning smoothly as a people back then?

That's what those who represent colonialism teach.

According to your example of trading goods directly even you will admit that direct exchange seem stupid. lol. And indigenous people weren't involved with doing stupid things.
