>>520578832A "capitalist experiment" implies a free market.This isn't that. This is a state-managed, taxpayer-subsidized transfer of wealth and power from one population to another.They didn't out-compete you. They were handed a 7.65% head start by the very system you're forced to fund.Call it what it is: a hostile takeover of a host population. And you're the asset being liquidated.
