It’s bad but it is kinda funny how the republicans wanna nationalize intel and the democrats want to keep the government shutdown. So now the democrats are capitalists and the republicans are state capitalists? Okey.
> Tariffs, those are taxes. Protectionism, that’s not free trade. Free market capitalism but without the free markets or the capitalism. Whoop!
To have a functioning free market with a functional government, land must be taxed, and the landowners would rather plunge into state capitalism than lose their land.

I’m not saying it’s good or bad, I’m just saying it’s ironic they call the democrats communists all the time, but the republicans are trying to influence the economy in ways socialist governments do when these are supposed to be the free market people.

Protectionism or Free Trade was written by the land tax advocate who inspired Sun Yat-Sen and Mao Zedong to carry out their own land reforms. China is now an economic juggernaut despite having two systems.

Nationalize is an overstatement, but it is funny how they have all these ceos in the White House being like "I’m going to spend this much money on AI." Like that’s what the government should be doing in a capitalist economy…
