Those are interesting concretions which would seem to make an oppositional case. But the truth is free people can't get ahead when competitors utilize human slavery.

What is the solution? All out protectionism? Can that possibly work?

No. Ban goods from slave using nations and ideological enemies who believe in human oppression as a form of comparative advantage. It' really not radical at all.

Wage slavery is really no better. They may give them a few cents, but these poor people are coerced into this lifestyle by the fascist totalitarian regime.

Exactly. The regime guarantees there are no alternatives. Their dire condition is not an argument in your favor.

We used to fight totalitarian regimes instead of pofitizing their repression. We should go back to that.

GDP means nothing. It means the elites are making lots of money with their repression. My main concern is the effect on free workers anyway.

China's GDP is bigger than ours?

 

[Truck Fump / h1b]

GDP is bullshit. It's only a measure of money changing hands, not justice, not humane treatment. It's nothing. It's a chimera the NWO types uses as a hypnotic stand in for anything relevant.

You're a fucking idiot.

Not only has the GDP gone up, and the GDP per capita gone up, the median income has gone up TREMENDOUSLY, which means the person in the middle is doing a lot better.
