Well, traitors or immature
Besides some anti-sectarians I suppose
But I wouldn't call them a majority at all...
I also like how communism, Islam, and the EU are somehow linked.
or Islam and the LGBTQ+ community...
NatSocs are often spergs and don't understand what fascism is meant to represent
I mean
I fucking loathe most major concepts behind fascism
But I have to admit, they've got a nice aesthetic
I'd hate-fuck a fascist, y'know?
Anyways.
I think the North Koreans have good aesthetics
Juche is a form of nationalistic communism, so
It literally translates to "Self-reliance"
Self-reliance is a terrible idea.
Why?
Do you know what that means?
It decreases efficiency and productivity
It means you can live without any outside influence.
While one should have a sufficient amount of resources to become self-reliant within a short time if need be
International trade should be the centerpiece of any economy
Comparative advantages and all that
You don't *have* to live self-reliant, but the ability to be does not have any ill effect.
You'll end up getting more stuff as a result
Peacetime self-reliance is just a negative overall
The USA has no need to trade with the outside world.
@Summī Imperator, 呪い殿 Are you a Jew
They can grow basically any kind of produce, if they managed resources and recycled properly they could theoretically, and I think practically shutter the borders and trade.
Sure, but it's a better idea to trade economically
Having an absolute advantage in everything doesn't mean you'll have a comparative advantage
It's literally impossible to have a comparative advantage in everything
I mean, it's pretty basic economics ngl
Well, if the USA just closed itself off, how much harm would actually come to them as opposed to their trading partners?
Probably very little.
Quite a bit.
The US would, overall, have less goods.
They'd have fewer goods of what kind?
Depends
the production capacity is limited...
They can grow any sort of produce, they could make manufactories, and they have a ridiculous amount of land.
