      But saying the money/scarcity/economy is made up is pointing directly at the reality of our oppression. It’s pointing out that people are being oppressed because it’s profitable, or there’s political will to cause suffering, that it’s an active choice.

      Yes, concepts exist and they’re real in the sense that there’s neurochemical pathways in brains, ink on paper, electrons flowing, and an impact on how goods are distributed. No one is arguing the concepts don’t exist.
