gollark: More, er, authoriatarian (how do you spell that) systems have to spend *more* resources on stopping UNLEGAL™ activity.
gollark: I mean, how far do you go with this? If you want to give someone a pencil or something, do you have to return it to the Government Pencil Bureau™ for a token reward and have them buy it back?
gollark: Not really. Reasonably free exchange doesn't have that issue.
gollark: You now have to devote a *lot* of resources from stopping people from trying to trade with each other.
gollark: I'd really prefer a government which does as little as possible, as governments have *repeatedly* shown themselves to be incapable of efficiently and sanely doing anything.
