If warlordism wins out, then warlordism is optimal. But seeing how our techno-productive social base doesn’t graft well to despotism I doubt reality will shift into this scenario, as reality tends to select for the most stable scenario that advances techno-productive elements

Also the only way a market is destroyed if all life on earth ends. As long as more than one person exists, so does the market. Think more abstractly and less economically.

No. In order to have a free market, you need extremely complex legal machinary to have corporations, currency, monetary, and trade policy, then you have intellectual property, you need law enforcement to protect corporations, and to protect property from people who want it, etc.

So mercantilism is the capitalist state of nature? Do you think Queen Elizabeth read The Road to Serfdom?pic.twitter.com/2ZPfrgvOXf

Merely illustrating the fact markets can exist outside the set of conditions you proposed above. All I’d did was post a map that proved your assumption false, nowhere did I say anything about mercantilism and its relation to capitalism.

Perhaps you should stop projecting preconceived notions of what you think an NRxer or a libertarian would believe or say on me and simply engage with the ideas and concepts I articulate in a vacuum

Mercantilism didn't really exist outside of any of those things.

Non-sequitr. You said the market can be destroyed by depotism. I proved you wrong. Move on. Mercantilism has nothing to do with the discussion. Think critically.

In your system with CEO kings, they won't really being competing in terms of markets. They'll just be trying kill each other. And the kind of markets we have now wouldn't be able to exist very well without centralized power.

You should look up a concept called patchwork. I can’t explain with the character limit but you should find your answer with about 15 minutes of cursory research
