>I'm suggesting that everyone stop accepting anonymous money, then stop accepting money that funded murders because doing so would empower the murderers.

Not gonna happen and should not happen.

>The killers are paid to do the killing.

This is so ridiculous. Money is not the only way to compensate someone or otherwise move them to act. The cartels would still have plenty of soldiers without people voluntarily accepting cash-like (anonymous) money.

If money was not private, armed gangs would know everything about everyone, making everyone less safe. Private money is privacy. If you eliminate private money you eliminate privacy. If you eliminate privacy you reduce human autonomy and security, not just from the armed criminal, but also from the masses.

>Otherwise, those votes will be purchased away, and we can't outspend the wealthy.

The political system needs to be fixed so that money cannot buy votes. You're focusing on the ocean instead of the leaky boat.
