You destroy meaning if you confuse the two different usages of the word. When describing drug cartels, "cartel" means "mafia" When describing the oil cartel, "cartel" means "monopolistic syndicate" There is no comparison between OPEC and Los Zetas. You shouldn't have even brought OPEC into this.

Maybe not OPEC, but reading about oil companies behaviour in places like Nigeria and the similarities with Los Zetas are there all right.
