When what is left of Capitalism finally does collapse, does anyone think a free market system will rise from the ashes?

I certainly don't.

    As far as I can determine, throughout history, regardless of the form of government or society, a free market always exists. It's called the black market.

    But it's not just the guns, ammo, and 72 hours of food that will protect you in the collapse. It's the mental attitude and drive of the rational individualist committed to self preservation, freedom, and life.

    Capitalism hasn't really existed in this country since at least 1913 and certainly not since 1972. Printed paper, plastic cards, or 0's and 1's in a computer's memory have an intrinsic value of 0. I don't think there's a chance for a free market to exist in our world unless what we call capitalism today does collapse.

      Damn Right! The first repercussion of any regulation that seeks to control commerce in any fashion, is that it ALWAYS creates a free black-market. Doesn't matter what the product is: alcohol, tobacco, firearms, abortions, 48 oz. soda pops, or Liberty. Government will never manage to stop trade all-together, until it kills every last one of us.
      Look at prisons, I've heard from people, that drugs are easier to get IN prison, than out. It doesn't make much sense; but for some reason, that seams to be the way it is. Perhaps there should be more laws against drugs in prison. 8-o
