But if a country has a weaponized economy, it cannot be considered to be compatible with the capitalist market and it must be severely restricted in trade.

Now the 25 year old baby is an expert in geo politics

Dont be all too worried about the chinaman buying foreign shit. They all do it to avoid the CCP

It's downright unacceptable imo for foreign countries, capitalist or not, to own a significant amount of your country's resources. I consider myself very libertarian, but sovereignty is not just about military defences. It's border control and economics too. I find myself becoming increasingly nationalistic in foreign politics.

Do they though? 1) It seems like they support their government, although it's hard to be sure. 2) can't their government seize control over anything their citizens own, and don't they do that aggressively?

Their government would have to come and take it

So that means deploying their troops wherever

Also, I'm 24, and don't consider myself an expert. My beliefs are mostly based on my concept of consent and a bit of what's beneficial for a healthy community. Criticism welcome.

They do not do that outside of china

at all

They'll protect their business interests, but they're not going to take shit that is in another country

even if a citizen of theirs owns it

@Red Korvo looks like you're well into the libertarian to national socialist pipeline

They don't even do it in Africa

Good thing we know that he's a honey pot

What are we doing?

Trying to honey pot more dudes into the naz bol pipeline

@tacticoolyourjets nah. I don't mind free trade with capitalist countries. But if you are trading with a country and allowing their government to weaponize its economy ok my against you, then you no longer have a capitalist country.

Who cares

Fuck socialism. It's a flagrant violation of the NAP.

Socialism vs. Capitalism is a plot of the Jews

capitalism beat socialism

>thinking there is a capitalist economy existing on earth

There isn't one

There's no such thing as a free market my dude.

All economies are planned.

Our economy is more communistic than China's

@Cataclysmo yeah, the US is a mixed economy, and it should be more capitalist.

Wat. Are you.... American?

Its an economy thats highly dependent on tax payer funding

All defense companies

majority of tech companies

and almost all of medical uses government funding as the majority of their income

Sure, but how is China better?

Kill everyone

sure thing, atf

They have a significantly more capitalistic economy within their borders than we do here and abroad

@Cataclysmo not really on the taxpayer part. It's heavily dependent on government subsidy, but that doesn't actually come from taxpayers.
Income tax and other taxes on citizens are just deflationary measures.

It's always an option

radical centrism

@tacticoolyourjets They still get funding from various laws and contracts
