I can give you an example if it will help - the concept of sin within the christian church, and how that was enforced perhaps in days gone by

Not esoteric to someone that knows how the world ACTUALLY used to work

it wasn't legal

the EU will send over the gold

Br?

you can't effectively argue it was economic

Gold plz?

Example: prohibition

Plx*

these spheres clearly interact

Alcohol was made illegal

yes, it was

(there)

thats bs im drinking right now

Prohibition doesn't work

but. There was still economic exchanges

Yeah fuck off from social mechanisms

yes, prohibition doesn't work

Many used to go around theLaw

broadly agree, svarozhyc

Exactly as you say church and the modern left

You can prohibit things that are either in too high demand or too easy to get with the exception of people being too lazy to do it themselves

Ah exectly. Prohibition doesnt work. Alwaysceconomic

Its just a form of suppression, to try and form puritain values.

why prohibit things because they are in too high demand?

Like you can ban cp because not very many people want it but imagine trying to ban cigs or porn

Its not economically better.

You are being obtuse

It's better if the money is in the economy of your country.

don't think so

just legalize loli

it will always be a fuzzy judgement call

Oof

*fuzzy*

When alcohol WAS banned it was STILL economic even though givimg money in exchange was illegal

Prohibition was bad of course

Why was prohibition bad?

But gives useful context for examining economics of transactions

Its not that you can't try prohibiting something in high demand its that you can't succeed in doing so

Even if no money imvolved
