Exactly. There can be no “free trade” with communist/totalitarian/socialist or cartel systems in ‘governments”. Nor can “socialism” exist in this country for “free trade” to exist——(forced slavery)——but it does and it is unconstitutional—so it will distort EVERYTHING.
That used to be understood by rational people-—but now we have 100 years of brainwashing (Eddy Bernays “Marketing of Ideas”-——and ALL the perceptions promoted by the MSM are lies and misinformation and children will remain oblivious to the Truth. The lack of education is intentional-—to confuse and create chaos and “happy slaves” for the super elites. Emotions (not Knowledge and Wisdom) rule.
The Left has destroy critical thinking by removing and banning Classical Christian curricula for operant conditioning (Common Core/data collecting on emotions/desires, etc) from the public schools and public square. There is no understanding of the worldview of our Founders-—NONE——and the philosophy of Locke and Adam Smith-—where Virtue is essential to Freedom.
