If it walks like a union shop steward, talks like a union shop steward, then...

Fascism abhors any republican form of government first of all. It abhors international borders. It likes centralized power, it likes monopolies, it likes regulations, it likes taxes.

Agreed, then why do you call for more government? Don't you know that governments by their very nature are socialist institutions?

I could go on but the linkage between the classical economic theory( a theory that does not take into account differing cultures, borders and political systems) would work perfectly in a model where there was ONE central world government and no international borders and one currency. The fascists goal is compatible with that theory. Subject worthy of a book....

Please go on. A book length subject must provide plenty of examples and opportunities to educate.

I'm curious to see which part of classical economics a la Adam Smith leads to fascism and one world government. Is it the demand or supply curve? Strong property rights? Individual preferences?

I love Western Civ and whites. So it’s OK to trade with my local economic competitors, but not with my distant ones?

The point is you negotiate trade treaties where you don’t get ripped off by China, Mexico, Korea whoever this might be. Is this so difficult to understand?
Donald Trump makes this point and I agree.
What is a rip-off trade treaty? I know them when I see them and I have seen plenty of them.

After 30 years of trade treaties we are left with huge annual trade deficits with millions of jobs lost to Mexico and China... This means we have failed in negotiating trade treaties. Do you really count this as a success?
