We don't need to eat beef.
And banks have been instrumental in one of the largest rises in human living standards in history so dismantling them seems pretty cruel to those who don't yet live as well as we do.
We don’t need to eat beef.
probably not but it's really small potatoes compared to the systems that actively kill people instead of feeding them.

i don't see any reason we can't help people without banks.
Then you should read about how actual development works.
this is not evidence, it's handwaving.
You're the one who wanted to dismantle the banks. Being ignorant of how they enable development isn't a position worthy of respect.
this, too, is not evidence.
this is not evidence that people cannot be helped without banks
It's evidence of banks doing substantial good works.
I'm curious as to what magical mechanism you are advocating for though.
that same bank also impoverishes developing nations with crippling debt.
but you haven't shown that people can't help each other without banks
Show me your equivalent non bank and non billionaire based development projects.
Otherwise your position is "dismantle the banks and surely some magical solution that isn't in practice now will step in!"
Which fair, for a whiny privileged first world kid, makes sense as an attitude. It's just impressively ignorant, selfish and childish.
