you are so confused about so many things. I think you are beyond help.
you say that capitalism is global, but you ignore the FACT that many of the world's countries are socialist, communist, Marxist, or some other form of non-capitalism. You say that capitalism equals selfishness, WTF do you think socialism equals? Oppression of the individual to the whims of a tiny minority that controls everything. In the history of the world capitalism is the only system that has ever worked, it is the only system where an individual can rise above his birth station in life. Do you really want your every move controlled by a small group of super elites in DC?
I cannot believe your inane ignorance, you appear to be as dumb as Ocasio-Cortez.
Actually, I never said that capitalism is global, but thanks for making shit up about me.
You also keep pretending that I support socialism and not capitalism, just one more lie since you have nothing left.
Capitalism works because it is selfish. You keep wanting to make that a bad thing, but it is not.
What is the purpose of Amazon or Boeing or Google or Ford? They all exist to make a profit, they have no other reason to exist than that. Amazon does not care about the little companies they put out of business, nor should they.
You, who is cheering on the government controlling companies via tariffs has the gall to ask me if I want every move controlled by a small group of super elites in DC. What the fuck do you think tariffs are for? They are all about control and you are cool with them, because they were put there by your savior in the White House.
I support capitalism, a much more open and free version than you do since you want to tie capitalism to nationalism.
You are the big government statist, not me.
well, with that rant you cleared up some of my misconceptions about you. But your previous left leaning posts make me wonder whether you are telling the truth now or then.
Tariffs are the only way to protect US companies from being undercut by cheat foreign labor and inferior goods. All countries have used tariffs for centuries, they are neither bad or controlling. They are protective. When the EU puts a 200% tariff on Harleys, what exactly is wrong with us putting a tariff on BMWs? Both countries are trying to protect their industries. With no tariffs either Harley of BMW would go out of business and their home country would lose jobs and tax revenue.
Nationalism simply means putting your own country first, it does not mean shitting on the others or trying to destroy them. Every leader of every country is a nationalist, if not, they would never be put in power. The current leftists trying to equate nationalism with naxism are ignorant idiots.
