    Well... Anarchy is totally free.
    Unless misinterpreted as many do, by associating it to extreme political groups of assholes causing chaos in the street.

    Aside from idiots causing chaos in the street, do not want anarchy as the model of the free market simply because there are public good and goods with externalities that can't be properly valuated. So no, no anarchy.

    I agree it would be very complicated, but I don't think we'll need to worry about that.

    I would say 5-10% of Americans are anarchists, meaning they live off the grid, as far away from government oversight as they can, paying no taxes, self protecting, and interacting only with like minded people.

    So is BABA a long-term buy as the deep value guru's say, or not?

    I've done well with BABA last year and still hold some shares, mostly because the floor fell from under me when Xi went on a power play. I'm hopeful to recover before year end, and the share price has recovered some in the last 2 weeks, but fundamentally, why invest in Chinese shares that so easily can crash at the whim of government? BABA doesn't have the returns of a meme stock nor the backbone and returns of US tech stocks.
