I’m sorry, but capitalism simply is not compatible with the idea of the government requiring it to operate solely within borders.

That was Hitler’s cockamamie plan for his brand of socialism. The Krupps, the Thyssens, the corporations all existed. The Börse Berlin existed. Private companies existed. They hired workers. Workers got paid a salary.

I mean, throw a Godwin’s Law flag if you want - I’m not calling you a Nazi.

I’m simply saying that I’ve read enough of the history and I’m rational enough to separate the Holocaust and the warmongering and all the other evil crap from the basic economic idea and you’re left with Strasserism. And Strasserism is socialism with nothing more than a nationalist tint to the socialism.

Do you realize almost every founding father was a protectionist? Do you realize the British Empire was built on the back of Mercantilism? I'd say history has settled the question, you are wrong.
