    Of course they have markets. Any society that grows much larger than where everyone can personally know everyone else, will need some form of money. The options are eithor barter directly, or use some form money as a medium of exchange and accounting. Barter can work in groups up to several hundred at least, maybe even a couple thousand. But beyond that, some form of money will naturally emerge.

        Market socialism is what I basically said was necessary at any substantial scale.
        I don’t know what you’re actual question is. You need to be more specific.
