>Opsec is a cartel so they/you can artificially control the prices
Yes, natural resource exporters are working together like I said.
>So muuuh free market doesn't happen
Correct, muh free market is just liberal virtue signaling. Nobody with a brain actually cares about this. America is becoming protectionist so we can rebuild our manufacturing base. Russia should do the same so they aren't so dependent on energy extraction and so average Russians can stop being so poor.
>If you work all together to make the resource prices artificially high you all gain something from it
Yes
>but naturally that doesn't happen
Then what is OPEC?
