“The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency”
— Vladimir Lenin

Simplified Meaning:
When the value of money drops a lot, everything becomes more expensive and people can't afford the same things they used to buy. This puts a strain on businesses and the economy overall. For example, imagine if the price of bread suddenly tripled, but wages stayed the same. People would struggle just to afford basic necessities like food and rent. This kind of situation can make people lose confidence in the whole system, leading to economic chaos. By damaging the value of money, the economic structure that allows capitalism to function smoothly gets undermined. Therefore, maintaining the value of currency is crucial for the stability of a country's economy and the well-being of its people.
