What phenotype is this?

Part of the reason Japan has such a thriving car industry today is because they implemented stringent trade policies allowing the industry to develop. 'Hard capitalism' wins if you don't put it on a leash, sure.

We tried that already. It lasted about 2-3 decades.

what are you going on about? The US was protectionist from it's inception and remained that way for quite a while. Only until the the 80's/90's did we start to predominately adopt free trade policies (ie NAFTA) and look where that has gotten us. Some goods are cheaper sure, but a hollowed out middle class with rising rates of drug overdose/addictions, which correlates with job loss, through fentanyl into the mix and the situation is even more dire.

Capitalism was "put on a leash" from the 1930s to the 1970s. It doesn't work.

See you misunderstand the problem. I'm not criticizing capitalism because it doesn't work. I'm criticizing because it works too well. I'll gladly accept a slightly lower standard of living if it means our country men can have stable livelihoods. Cheap goods mean fuck all if our communities are collapsing on top of themselves. I'm not a materialist.

>I'm criticizing because it works too well.
Precisely, which is why your "leash" doesn't work. Capitalists don't care about your romantic bullshit.
>I'm not a materialist.
They sure are.

>restraints on capitalism doesn't work
>but somehow the US managed to become a super power all while implementing some protectionist policies.

Yes, when capitalism existed in a far less-developed state. This isn't the 1800s.

Not at all, but good luck "putting a leash on capitalism" with appeals to patriotism and skull-shape pseudoscience and whatever else it is that you r*Ghtoids are up to these days.

>good luck "putting a leash on capitalism
Yeah m8, this is time tested, it's been successfully done before.

>with appeals to patriotism and skull-shape pseudoscience and whatever else it is that you r*Ghtoids are up to these days
enjoy getting fucked in the ass by megacorps that don't give a fuck about you.

Shitty general. His only success was the fact he had to fight that shit for brains McClellan. AP Hill, Jackson, and Beauregard were all better generals.

>Yeah m8, this is time tested, it's been successfully done before.
It lasted all of one generation in this country.
>enjoy getting fucked in the ass by megacorps that don't give a fuck about you.
That's already happening to both of us, and you're not proposing a way out of it.

>It lasted all of one generation in this country
This is blatantly false. We didn't start dick riding free market policies until the end of the 20th century. Alexander Hamilton served as the intellectual forefather of our economic policies which favored protectionism.

>That's already happening to both of us, and you're not proposing a way out of it.
yes I am. I'm advocating for our government to structure our economic policies that benefit the people first and foremost and not your ideological god of 'free market capitalism'

The primitive 18th and 19th century capitalism that was "reigned in" by Hamilton's protectionism no longer exists. You're not advocating any realistic method of applying that to the 21st Century (protip: it's likely not possible, and again, the 20th Century "New Deal" programs only managed to do so for about one generation). I have no idea why you're rambling about free market gods, I'm not a proponent of capitalism.

These policies no longer exist because we transitioned away from them due to our political metamorphosis.
>You're not advocating any realistic method of applying that to the 21st Century
The same principles apply regardless of time period.

>I have no idea why you're rambling about free market gods, I'm not a proponent of capitalism.
Unless you're a different user you were literally using the past half hour to tell me how the all mighty capitalism doesn't care if you try to contain it on a leash.

>These policies no longer exist because we transitioned away from them due to our political metamorphosis.
This "metamorphosis" was driven by the development and evolution of capitalism after WWII.
>The same principles apply regardless of time period.
Not really.
>Unless you're a different user you were literally using the past half hour to tell me how the all mighty capitalism doesn't care if you try to contain it on a leash.
And that's a good thing to you?

We’ve also had a centrally controller money supply and banking system since 1929. The inflation tax is real.

>This "metamorphosis" was driven by the development and evolution of capitalism after WWII
doesn't necessarily mean it was a benign evolution

>Not really
industries that need protection may change but the underlying principles do not.

>And that's a good thing to you?
I'm saying you seem to change your position from what you were originally arguing. I thought maybe a different user entered the discussion.

>doesn't necessarily mean it was a benign evolution
Who said that it was?
>industries that need protection may change but the underlying principles do not.
How are you going to institute this protectionism?
>I'm saying you seem to change your position from what you were originally arguing. I thought maybe a different user entered the discussion.
My position from the start is that capitalism is too powerful for any sort of lasting "reform" of the sort you are proposing.

>How are you going to institute this protectionism?
>My position from the start is that capitalism is too powerful for any sort of lasting "reform" of the sort you are proposing.
Our politicians just implement protectionist policies like we've done in the past. What do you mean capitalism is too powerful?

Which politicians are going to implement those policies? How are you going to get them elected?
