gollark: You're talking about one *in the next 20 years*, which hasn't.
gollark: 1. that hasn't *happened* yet. You're generalizing from a literally nonexistent example.2. I think their regulation kind of goes in the wrong directions.
gollark: Anyway, my original meaning with the question (this is interesting too, please continue it if you want to) was more like this: Phones and whatnot require giant several-billion-$ investments in, say, semiconductor plants. For cutting-edge stuff there are probably only a few facilities in the world producing the chips involved, which require importing rare elements and whatnot all around the world. How are you meant to manage stuff at this scale with anarchy; how do you coordinate?
gollark: Which "capitalism" is a very rough shorthand for.
gollark: ... I'm not saying "full anarchocapitalism, no government", I said "somewhat government-regulated free markets".
