>we? We are free market capitalists in America! Freedom and democracy yeeehaw *sanctions and tariffs literally two thirds of the planet*
The rest of the world isn't America. It isn't governed by our laws, principles, or people. That's why you have fences to regulate what comes in, people or products. This is very obvious stuff. We aren't a borderless free for all economic zone we're a country.
>>214719788Trump is a communist who also plans on nationalizing major American businesses so you're right OP and ignore this clown >>214719821https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/funniest-twist-trump-now-wants-205737691.htmlWhat we're doing now IS antithetical to the ideas of free market Capitalism.
>>214719788>Freedom and democracyTo elect whomever AIPAC carefully picked.

Unc thinks it's 2012 and Mitt Romney is in charge omds
>>214719847This country was quite literally founded on the economic principles Trump is re instituting. Not instituting, RE INSTITUTING. No faggot, gay race globohomo communism isn't American tradition.
>>214719904>OYYY VEY WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE CAN'T PICK YOU APART ANYMORE AND TAKE ALL OF YOUR JOBS AND WEALTH?? CLEARLY THIS IS THE START OF AMERICA'S FALL. INDIA AND CHINA WERE YOUR STRENGTH!!!hilarious stuff
>>214719956you're so mad kek
The USA was never a free market economy, they are extremely aggressive against imported products. The whole "liberalism" garbage is propaganda for thirdies
>>214719956>WE CAN'T PICK YOU APART ANYMOREYeah the immigrants are exploiting you but your empire is falling. Le savior Trump is delaying the inevitable, total collapse of the Great Jesus (because Satan is actually a good guy)
>>214719966I'm getting everything I've wanted for 15 years, I'm not mad
>>214720069Even the reddit spacing?
>>214719930Socialism has always been an anathema to American economic sensibilities you retard
>>214719930Protection of workers and domestic production is literally the most communist thing you can do. God Idiot Trump is red.
>>214719930>>214720408The US have never really been the ravenous capitalists that many make them out to be, their path to industrialisation was protectionist with significant goverment investment in infrastructure e.g. railways and canals in the UK were all built using private funds, whilst in the US they were half funded and grants were made to aid in their completion. The US has always had a more top down and coherent industrial policy.
Regressing back to protectionism is a sympton of the decay of american imperialism. The british too regressed back to protectionism once their industrial capabilities were vastly outnumbered by America.Now its China who will want to expand free trade in order to flood the world with their goods
>>214722994>The british too regressed back to protectionismNo we didn't, we let out industry wither and die in favour of free market globalism.
>>214719956less than 12% of products sold here are made in the US.
>>214719930Why would be reinstitute economic policy from a time when we were poorer?
Reminder that trumptard's tariffs are actually pretty mild compared to some of the ones Canada and European countries have had on American goods for decades to protect their gay cheese industries.
>>214722994Quite the opposite. If Britain had doubled down and turned into a mercantilist, protectionary state, they would still exist as a world power right now. Instead they got sucked dry by hyperglobalism and turned into a little brown whore.We are on the same path and that's why we're course correcting.
>>214720201>doesn't look at the chart which shows socialism (income tax rape) replace pragmatic tariff based revenue sources
>>214726885From a time when we were going from colonial backwater launching forward into superpower status, you mean? our years of greatest real growth? When we built things like the hoover dam and the first skyscrapers and the panama canal and national rail? That was a "poor period" to you? You like the modern era of being a little wagie nigger for a gobal megacorpo laying off half its staff for indians, and the government building a bridge taking 20 years?
The same nation many of you worship and fetishize, China, follows this model. Nationalistic, protectionistic, mercantilistic policy. They take every advantage possible (they want you to suck up their exports), while protecting their domestic industry (basically no one is allowed to do business in China, it's entirely internal and domestic). This is a fast track to rapid growth. You are the sucker holding the bag and if you have no border/trade laws or protections. This is just how it is. You can cry about it all you want but this is the way and it will succeed. Whether subsequent Presidents follow the strategy remains to be seen.
>>214719821>The rest of the world isn't America. It isn't governed by our laws, principles, or peopleYou guys are constantly trying to decided for other countries what they can or cant do
