    What the fuck would people be gambling in this hypothetical society? M&M? I don’t think the government current breaks up retirees player poker for pennies in their spare time.

      Your close to understanding then. Gambling exists because of capitalism just as Engle’s outlined about prostitution. You can’t ban capitalism you can’t ban gambling you can’t ban prostitution you can only create the conditions in which it doesn’t exist.

      Well that’s not totally true you can ban these things but only in the contest of expanding enforcement mechanisms.
