I have been listening a lot to the experts analyze this and it occurs to me that the big reason for the failure of these global elite types can be understood. What they perceive as “freedom” is the free flow of capital. On it’s face that would be a good thing. However, joe six pack can’t take advantage of this or what advantage he gets is watered down to almost trivial. Joe six pack can’t shop for groceries internationally, he is stuck with the grocers locally found. If his mortgage has any benefit it is taxed out of existence. Same with his kid’s shoes, etc.

So the only people to enjoy the victory of freedom for capital are financiers and bankers and absent “creating more pies” which does not happen in socialism the elites are the only ones to prosper and this at the expense of joe six pack. Sure Joe has the freedom to move his labor or needs around but the capital he is in competition with moves at the speed of light. Joe can’t and he suspects that were he to try by the time he did the rules would change and not in his favor, once again.

So what the EU established was in essence a double toxin. Freedom for capital but socialism for people.

I have posted before that IMHO capitalism is not a separate economic system but rather a law of nature, like gravity. No matter what system people live under they freely trade perceived benefits for real adverse outcomes. You name it, Marxism, crony capitalism, whatever. Just as the best government is that which governs least, the best economy is that in which the economic “law of gravity” is interfered with least is what we refer to as capitalism. As you can see, even people living under the worst manipulation of the economy have freely traded their freedom for chains.

One might say that fascist regimes just kill folks who dissent which is true but even so those folks CHOOSE to continue living in intolerable conditions.

Capitalism is not a system.

So the way to see this IMHO is a rejection of oppressive gummint that benefits the few. THAT is a message easily understood by the lowest of LIV. Real Americans know all these things even if they can’t eloquently express them. We have an opportunity to roll back oppressive over regulation of Joe Six Pack so that he can enjoy the same freedom and reap the blessings of liberty that the banks and financiers enjoy.

End equality of outcomes. It is poison. End gummint scare tactics built on lies like global warming. End and punish current crony capitalists. Punish corrupt politicians that enable them. There are many things we can and need to do if we are to make Joe Six Pack as free as the capital of financiers. Both have to win for anyone to win. That is the lesson to learn from the failure of the EU.
