How to understand that financial futures are not investment tools, but risk management tools?

Risk management tools. Hehe, just kidding. This is just a stunt. These things have a general name in the financial world, called financial derivatives, and they are all tools for financial speculation. Is it different from other futures? There is no difference in essence. It acts directly on money, and there is no difference in essence. Any futures have the opportunity to short and long, depending on the situation of the game between the two sides, but the long-term short-selling of financial futures will have an impact on national finance, so the state's active intervention is obvious. But within a reasonable range, the state will not interfere, and may even short. Imagine, before 2008, the stock market was above 6000 points, and the futures were launched. Will the country remain short? No, unless there is a big crash.
