Ya

And?

Well the industry had become bloated and inefficient and could not survive without the government propping it up

We aren't talking about Britain first of all

We are talking about America

The concept of competitive advantage is a truism

Socialist countries practiced it

Fudal lords practiced it

I do not believe in free trade

Second of all once the government props up those industries again (either through nationalizing or bailing out) it doesn't become any more inefficient.

No it isn't

A government proping up an industry means it's inefficient

It assumes perfect competition

A government running an industry ≠ government proping up an industry

I believe that it isn't good but I don't think if the government props up a industry means it is any more inefficient.

They can prop it up through means of nationalizing

No they didn't LOL

'Ah yes, socialist countries had competition.'

The Soviet Union had special zones for specific production

And traded internally

They didn't have comparative advantage tho

Competitive advantage is a concept not a policy

Yeah and that concept doesn't apply to Socialism

Its like Darwinism, either you acknowledge it or you are wrong

'Darwinism is right'

Lol

Neo-Darwinian Tard here

I'm not here to argue the evolution vs the creation though

You aren't a creationist are you

I'm neither

Like an unironic "the earth is 6000 years old"

How is Darwinism right

Darwinism is correct because things that perpetuate themselves carry on and things that don't do not carry on

Natural Selection is false as well

Lamarckist in 2021

Darwin might have been wrong about some specifics but his general principles, which were known for millennium prior before Darwin gave explicit form to the implicit knowledge of the ages.

Why

Because he did

What do you mean why?
