"I’m aware the majority of China is under socialism/corporatism, but the reason the PRC has managed to be economically successful at all in the first place without completely collapsing is because of its autonomous regions. The communist parts parasitize the relatively free-market areas, some of which are allowed to be economically freer than even the US."
Completely untrue. China came out of Maoism under Deng Xiaoping who put in place a few SEZs that were corporatist with access to foreign investment, not free market. Then later corporatism got extended to the rest of China. China was never as economically free as America and isn't right now. The reason people invest in China isn't lax regulations or lower taxes but lower labour costs

"Again, automation is an alternative. Combine this with autonomous zones and deregulation and we can beat the chicoms."
Automation isn't happening under free trade and there can only be so many Singapores which is the only thing you could possibly create with deregulation in a SEZ in America and even then America is already more free economically (to the detriment of America) than any part of China - Hong Kong.

"America’s current economy is extremely corrupt and overregulated, almost as much as mainland China at this point. The same people own everything - there is almost no competition anymore"
America is way way way less corrupt than China. One of the consequences of free trade is the lack of competition because large corporations get to outsource and scale up globally which few people can hope to go up against and when they try they usually get gobbled up. Doing away with free trade would level the playing field in regards to regulations, labour costs etc.

And it would actively incentivize RnD into automation in manufacturing sicn elarge corporations would be heavily incentivized to reduce labour costs somehow without moving outside the country

Anybody got good books on Salazar?

@DarkEagle553 whats your opinion on Jörg Haider. why was he killed?

Puu havent really put much thought into him tbh.

Why was he killed? I am the official story is that he just crashed cause he was drunk. I could not drive strait with 1,8 ‰. If that's not true, does the left need a reason to kill a right wing politician?

i dont buy it
he was driving a expensive car with all the saefty features

So what?

As if that helps if you drive to fast

Like what?

i am not saying he could not have been killed but thats a bit weak

need to come up with a bit more then that imo

perhaps he was killed in the hospital
made it look like he was more injured than he really was
