Watch the episode of Rotten that features the avocado trade. What country's govt acts the "exact same?" One example would be kidnapping to extort farmers, causing them to lose their farm and livelihood

> What country's govt acts the "exact same?"

You seem to suffer from reading comprehension issues. My thoughts about the cartel are exactly the same as my thoughts about the us government. Both are entities that use extreme violence to control the flow of commodities.

I take it you don't read much about the activities of our military or intelligence services over the last eighty years or so.

Or, for that matter, the activities of the paramilitaries your 401k or mutual funds financed.

Which government is that which is comparable to Mexican cartels?

Judging by the description, literally any one in history? I live in the us though. Using violence to control the flow of commodities is basically what a state is. None of us consented to being governed by the current government any more than the people of Mexico agreed to live under the cartels (although, I suppose if you vote you do sort of consent).

If you mean the US, I don't agree. It has a long way yet to get there, but it's fighting really hard and making great progress at becoming more like a criminal gang.
