[QUOTE=Raellus;91655]IIRC, there's been discussion here of what role, if any, drug cartels may have played in the Mexican invasion of the SW USA. Beyond that, AFAIK, it's a topic that hasn't really come up.
What would happen to drug cartels after the TDM and the ensuing global breakdown of modern techno-capitalist civilization?
Drug cartels derive their power from money. It pays for the guns, sicarios, foot soldiers, corrupt politicians and police, and transportation and distribution networks that narcos rely on to expand and maintain their territories, business concerns, and power. I imagine that, after the TDM, the global market for drugs would more or less collapse.
**Drug trade would likely fall, but human trafficking & slaving, protection rackets, straight up land grabs would all be booming business.
