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".
gollark: Anarchocapitalism is definitely interesting, but it seems kind of problematic.
gollark: I'm more minarchist.
