I see. Your position is that cartels only exist because governments ensure they exist. I think that is a tautology (in that everything exists because governments ensure they exist since governments enforce law so things exist in society depending on whether they enforce or don't) or wrong, so we have a fundamental disagreement here and unifying will take so long that there's probably no point discussing further.

Stable cartels are based on coercion of some sort - some mechanism to keep the members in line. The law is the usual means to achieve that.
