Your criticism of myself, though misunderstood, was unwarranted. I'm a pure capitalist.

American-supported instruments which seek to expand American trade and increase capitalism around the globe (by removing hindrances to capitalism and economic freedom such as taxes, tariffs, and other trade restrictions) is not "pure capitalism". If you support such instruments, then yes, you are a pure capitalist, and I was incorrect in my criticism.

I support all such instruments; with those nations that do the same in return. I do not believe in giving away the golden goose. And I actually think that the folly of thinking that you can "internationalize" capitalism will be our downfall because we do not operate in a pure capitalist society ourselves. Only the true capitalist can lead the world. We, as a nation, are neither leaders nor capitalists as of this posting.
