   do you ever think about how you could rephrase organised crime as "government" and it'd pretty much be equally accurate?

   not to say organised crime is objectively good, but comparing organised crime and government is a very good way to gain a bit of perspective

      in "real" government, politicians and corporations accept payoffs (donations, funding, bribes) to enact certain agendas, they control the country through rules and straight up fear, they'll send thugs (cops) after you if you do something they don't like, and they're largely above their own rules

      they also have ultimate control over drugs, weapons, zoning, you name it

      the government and organised crime are very similar

         @ctrlaltdog Organized crime is crime because government doesn’t like competition. See also (on the libertarian side of this argument): theft.
