Are Tariffs Socialism?

 

[EdwinA]

lol of course not; in fact the U.S. developed its industrial base into a successful and prosperous country because of them, while Britain and its 'free trade' policies declined and got passed by both the U.S. and Germany, of course with the parasitic financial sector doing its usual thing, bankrupting everything it ever touches. Pandering to bankers and stock peddlers is always bad policy; industrial capitalism is much more viable and produces higher wages and more disposable income for working people to boot, which in turn is great for small business..

did you vote?

 

[Litmus]

I see you did vote.

and you voted correctly.

many neocons use the logic:

tariffs = tax
tax = socialism.

it's a slippery proof of the most fascist origin.

Tariffs are not capitalism. Redefinition fallacy.

while Britain and its 'free trade' policies declined

Britain never really had free trade policies for centuries.

and got passed by both the U.S. and Germany, of course with the parasitic financial sector doing its usual thing, bankrupting everything it ever touches.

There is no such thing as a "parasitic financial sector". Buzzword fallacy. The UK, Germany, and the United States are already bankrupt, and have been for many decades.

Pandering to bankers

Central banks do not pander to bankers. They own them (communism) or control them (fascism).

and stock peddlers

What is a "stock peddler"?? The stock market is just that...a market.

is always bad policy;

A market is not a policy.

industrial capitalism

No such thing. Buzzword fallacy.

is much more viable and produces higher wages and more disposable income for working people to boot,

This is true of capitalism always.

which in turn is great for small business..

Also true of capitalism always.

No, he doesn't. He's been attempting to redefine "socialism" as "capitalism", "international trade", "globalism", and other wacky buzzwords for some time now.

He doesn't know much English.

While this definition if pretty accurate, socialism takes three major forms:

Fascism, or the manipulation of markets by government (usually through oppressive regulations);
Communism, or the ownership of markets by government (usually by dictat);
Slavery, or the ownership of labor, which can only be supported by government sanction.

All forms of socialism are based on theft.


A tariff is, of course, only a tax on imported products and services.
Usually, when a government imposes a tariff, the other nation involved exporting those goods also imposes a similar tariff on it's imports to "get back at" the nation imposing the original tariff in the first place.

Schoolyard bully stuff.

Fascism is not a proof, nor a predicate. Redefinition fallacy.

WTF is a "globalist traitor"????!? Buzzword fallacy.

Yes. Another case of playing with vocabulary in leiu of a real rebuttal. Nothing I said was debatable.

Re Wall Street, all it sells is debt, a fact apparently lost on those who haven't taken a basic introductory economics or business course.

International trade is not treason. Redefinition fallacy.
