Free trade without laws and regulations is not free. What is peddled as "free trade" nowadays is an oligarchy with corporate monopoly of one kind or another in virtually every sector.

Working class is 100% into being cucked nowadays. Like, they are so grateful that their employer didn't outsource their jobs elsewhere that they are willing to do everything for them.
If they were normal people like me they would just pillage and burn some rich people's district if outsourcing would happen.

The freer the market the freer the people.

The rise of protectionism may have a strong rationale. One fundamental flaw with economic thinking is that humans are assumed to be doing things to make a living and improve their economic condition. This is partially true. But people are also doing things for existential reasons. We may be better off economically (in the aggregate) by exporting jobs. But that's not what people may really want.

people might want to *do* things. Just to do things, because they feel it is part of their identity. It may be cruel to cheat them of that. They too want to play. They want to have their soul in the game.
Bureaucrats don't get it because they don't do things.

I see Codexers have not changed. They attack the person, not the argument.

Hegel
Why should the underclass be allowed to dictate the terms of free enterprise? I believe in entrepreneurial freedom, and the right to organize my own property and business organization the way I see fit, including hiring people with little concern for whichever citizenship they might hold; profit seeking motive unabated within an acknowledged set of pre-defined laws.

I harbor the forlorn hope that this is a free country; don't like it? Start your own companies, but what is mine is mine, fucking commies.

I believe in the right to make soap and lampshades out of any material I deem fit for the purpose.

The Brazilian Slaughter
Free Trade is great... when it is fair and both parties compete in similar conditions. There should be no free trade between countries with good labour rights and industrial wage slavery country. It causes a race to the bottom and soon everyone is out of a job because of millions of chinks who work to eat.
Argentina and Brasil should free trade, but Norway and China should not.
