Ive never seen more contradictions in a single post. Are you not aware of where the strongest Nazi movement in the world is and who is supporting it? :)
"I understand the theory of how it is intended to function. The only SHTF market scenario I've seen that had a chance, was a location where if you stole or threatened force; they hung you. The market got a percentage for the harsh security."
And still, its your very government that praises and preaches
the world about democracy
"When the SHTF happens, markets will not be unicorns and flowers; they will become life or death! Voluntary actions will cease to exist, unless backed by a threat of force."
So just like a a gov, backed by deadly force, the problem, the elephant in the room is that the USA long ago lost a sense of community, at least in some areas.
"When things break down, force will sadly be the only remaining safety! No consensus or agreements that are not backed by obvious threat of force, will get a lot of people killed. The the wild west was tame by comparison, because people back then had moral absolutes; today that is no longer true...they will steal the gold out of your teeth! So don't bank on human nature, because that nature is spotty at best"
A civilized sociaty doesnt resolve its issues that way, only in extreme cases, the problem , again, is that you became so complacient having the currency of the world that you forgot about what is important, having a community, when you have a community you dont need to shoot people.
"If you set up a community using anarchy, you better have armed guards and a defense plan; or you will soon have a boot on your throat. Not good, but sadly predictable. Also avoid markets for as long as you can, to allow the most violent to be filtered out...by counter violence!"
True
"When the government fails, violence will replace the Constitutional rule of law. This is unavoidable, as power flows into a vacuum."
You are already into the vacuum, its only a fake veneer of a cloak of decency that prevents you from falling.
