I’m just fascinated by the whole “capitalism as immoral” argument. As if economic transactions between individuals free of coercion or other external force is somehow less “moral” than the alternative, having the government stepping-in and regulating those transactions.

“I’m just fascinated by the whole “capitalism as immoral” argument.”

I read back through my comments to see where we got off track.

I said, “To teach them an immoral and unprincipled form of capitalism known as Globalism.”

I don’t believe capitalism is bad nor, do I believe the Gov ever made anything better. However, when one makes a business deal only to have the other party/parties manipulate the terms of the agreement (using slave labor, hidden fees or tariffs, manipulating one’s monetary structure, etc.) That’s where the unethical, immoral, unprincipled parts come into play not, the way you interpreted what I wrote.

Bottom line: Don’t make agreements with tyrants, dictators or communists and expect it to be fair and balanced for all concerned.
