Another headline to trigger the comrades.

Do you not realize that all countries monitor capital movement so that, for example, the rulings of their judiciaries are enforced?

Wouldn't the comrades want financial activity to be monitored, to make sure that nobody is getting more then everyone else? (unless they're a party official, of course)

i have a feeling neither of you actually know what the comrades want

The comrades in the US want the existing system removed. So, for now, while it remains, they want no policing, no oversight, no enforcement because weak governance advances their goals. Later, when the system is replaced with their preferred system, they will want maximum policing, maximum enforcement, maximum purges of undesirable elements because strong governance advances their goals.

This behavior isn't a flaw, it's a feature.

Do you not realize last remnants of privacy died years ago?

If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself.
