Excuse me, I'M the one that first stated management of trade was socialistic! Don't leave me out of your hate-fest!
Free trade is capitalistic; any time you start managing it you start adding a little bit of socialism. If you're managing everything you end up at the Communist end of things.
It's called a continuum - the more Government interference and "management" the more socialist you become.
Ideally, I'd say we should have zero managed trade; that would be pure free market capitalism. Can that be a political reality? Probably not. But it does not mean we shouldn't strive for it.
You may now continue with your 2 minutes of hate for 1rudeboy...
On the far continuum, I believe you must mean fascism, not socialism. Tariffs or other protectionist measures do not represent ownership of the means of production, a basic element of socialism.
So you're adding "socialistic" to your own list of smears against Ronald Reagan?
You must be proud of yourself.
