Ok, "moving from fiat currency to gold-backed currency" is crazy. "Disbanding the federal reserve" is crazy. It would involve massively reducing the money supply and liquidity for the overall economy, and destroy the current counter-cyclical levers we have to lower/raise interests rates when we want to either stimulate the economy or cool down inflation. Take a look at the extreme boom/bust cycle from the late 19th century if you want to see what happens without those levers. There's a reason they went to fiat currency in the first place, and it wasn't, "I'm a liberal caricature and I want to do this to increase government control". It's because the gold standard wasn't adequate to the job. Let alone that there's no way to get from here to there in the modern world where the entire G20 has fiat currencies.

The gold standard is a position of "I don't care what's been proven to work in the real world or what's possible to actually accomplish, I care about what I find emotionally satisfying".

EDIT: Regarding civil discussions, you might consider chilling out on the ad hom attacks yourself. You've called me uninformed multiple times while misinterpreting my comments to mean something that I don't see any possible way to construe from what I said. Bringing Chinese actions from the 1950s and 60s into a discussion of "modern china's" propensity for militarism above, as if anyone would consider maoist China the same thing as the current regime, and implying that I had no idea such events happened.
