Violence surrounds black market activities because the legal system no longer supports them. Alcohol industry isn’t violent today. Weed in CO isn’t violent.
As it is (like all other crony capitalism) laws meant to take down large players end up just targeting smaller players and reenforcing market dominance.
So, gov oversteps their bounds, outlaws thing people actually want, Capone supplies things. Without the laws Capone wouldn’t have been so strong as he’d have real competition.
Interesting hearing dogmas of capitalism come out of Alinsky's mouth right? "Community organizing" is nothing more than using useful idiots to pass laws to fatten your bank account.
