Drawing from the core ideas in Achille Mbembe’s Necropolitics, it becomes clear that the existing state structures maintain control not only through governance but also via economic tools like currency. Currency, often perceived simply as numbers on a screen, represents more than just financial power; it signals a broader system where human life can be quantified and consequently devalued. This devaluation disproportionately affects marginalized communities and perpetuates structural problems such as inequity, displacement, and the militarization of society. The notion that 'imaginary numbers on a computer screen' hold more significance than the actual quality of human life highlights a critical flaw in modern governance: the prioritization of economic metrics over social well-being. In practice, this means policies and systems that favor market stability or profit margins often lead to real-life consequences like stolen homes, restricted land rights, and inequitable access to resources. From my own experience engaging with communities affected by state displacement and economic disenfranchisement, the intertwined roles of currency and state power become apparent. Efforts to challenge this include pushing for anarchist principles or alternative societal structures where currency is abolished or radically transformed to prevent these injustices. Such approaches propose dismantling or dissolving the state in its current form, aiming to build systems that reject the cycles of control embedded in military and prison complexes. Moreover, the critique extends to how private ownership and policies reinforce long-standing issues of equity and exclusion. In contexts such as land disputes or housing crises, state-backed currency and laws often prioritize private interests over communal well-being. Recognizing these systemic failures encourages a rethinking of how society values human life beyond economic terms, urging more humane and equitable models for the future.
