Laissez faire capitalism requires unfettered transactions between buyer and seller -- with no third party interference. By definition, the illicit drug trade is the furthest thing from capitalism.
Maybe Laissez's definition. But when it comes to capitalism coming to a theater near you. LMFAO. :(

That is never going to happen on a global scale not even in a small town.

More like a bit batty.
There is a saying that I've never heard the equivalent in English which translates to "sharp is the eye of the visitor"

So take my commentary on your culture as you will.

Heck I'm WAY more exposed to your country's bull crap than you're exposed to mine.

Still going to need a good answer to this since you called me batty.
I said it's never been practiced in its true, ideal form. And it never will.

Because there will always be those like you in the world.

Edit: Societies prosper to the extent they practice capitalism. And suffer to the extent they don't.

It has little to do with people like me. The fact is that power and greed has been taming the horses way before we both were born. So people with power see no point in making it (truly) fair for the rest of us.

Don't pin this on me. "Greed is good but monopoly makes me sleep better" has never been a slogan in my family for two generations or so.\M/

True you guys are a model for that thinking( If you guys would actually go to China you would see the same attitude even with more indifference on top)

You reap what you sow.

Edit: For those unaware. China is a communist country that manages somehow to be the most competitive and capitalist country on the planet.

Bull. Every drug deal where narcotics is illegal is unregulated. Pure capitalism.

I hand you money by my free will and you by your free will hand me the product.
Capitalism involve a natural selection.
If a man is stupid and bought what he does not need disappear. With the sense of falling down in the social pyramid.

This is the rule of selection of capitalism: the best to reach the peak.

For example, capitalism promoted Steve Jobs who did just one year at college.
The market decided he was better. That's right.
But now we're promoting people with graduate faculty with PhD, we help them and we will not get the same result.
That's not capitalism.

The big car companies are an oligopoly. That blocks the free market. Blocks progress.

Drugs that are forbidden to be illegally is solded more expensive. This increases their price.

There are a lot of dangerous substances(E) to the health that we had in our food in supermarkets and they do not hurry to forbid them to be merciful to us.

The reason is not mercy for us, it's another hidden thing.

E.g.
If a public servant chooses to award a grant for electronic research:
Who would have chosen to give this money?
- A young man who left college after a year? (Jobs)
- Or someone who has a PhD and a good CV in this field ?
That's why it's not capitalism:
Financing from outside, drive the market as you want. Do not let the market adjust itself.

E.g.2
Do search on youtube with "Open BTS".
Notice how young people are doing programs which is a lounging room with people with big titles did not understand them.
At such a presentation to the renowned electronics in the room, they were afraid to start their phones when the speaker asked them to do an experiment.
It was clear that how they understood ...........

Very good and perfectly true. The whole black market economy is pure capitalism. From a bootleg DVD sold by a street vendor to crack - pure capitalism.
