Sounds like somebody needs a blockchain.
An interstellar spacefaring civilization would most likely be socialist inside the spaceships, libertarian-monarchic on space stations, anarchic between ships/stations, liberal democratic within inner solar systems (say 1-2 lighthour sphere)

Family->communist Friends->barter Community->socialist State->capitalist Money is memory, thus large groups need decentralized resource allocation. Governance is sovereign power, thus large groups need decentralized decision making.

I like this line of thought, and it makes me think that it would often be clearer to use words that denote actual systems of exchange rather than political ideologies—only "barter" in your list is a concretely definable behavior.
