Free markets aren't actually a good thing. Pro-White markets are ideal.
It's not "free" when it's an (((oligarchy))) and the Germans figured that out right quick.
Even without an oligarchy, the ideal of free markets only works temporarily because in time you always get some group that pulls ahead of another and if that group is your enemy, the free market was never good for you.
And you need regulations. You need rules that corporations have to abide by. You cannot allow your nations economy to be taken over by foreign investors. If a corporation number one priority is maximizing profit and will fuck over everything in its path to achieve it it becomes a very big problem.
Just look at the train derailment in Ohio. This was directly the result of precision scheduled railroading. A profit maximizing method by the rail companies. Biden and congress actually stepped in to protect the rail companies from consequences when the rail workers tried to strike over this shit.
Profit maximizing no matter the cost is a cancer that will inevitably kill a nation.
Profit maximization without the right rules is problematic but profit maximization when the right rules are in place is ideal.
If the right rules are in place you won't even go for profit maximization. Profit for the sake of profit is the path of endless greed and will devour you in the end. Profit maximizing is only needed in a society where money is God.
Incorrect. If the right rules are in place you will maximize profit but doing so will be moral.
Also, enforcement is as important as having the rules.
I suppose it depends on the definition of maximizing profits. But you're correct. You can also maximize your profits while strictly following a moral framework.
Profits for people. Not the other way around.
This is not pro-white, it's pro-imperial.
I'd be satisfied with pro-American.
Pro-American is even more narrow than pro-White though since only an Anglo-Saxon can be American.
the market exists to service us
On the one hand, fuck China, on the other hand, not a good sign for policy going forward setting precedent for government takeovers of businesses.
We do not have a free market. It's retarded to expect one when other countries don't follow suit
If we had a true free market, Bell would be the world power. They would control all communications.
This one is easier for me. China does not allow for the same types of foreign ownership that are common in the United States and Europe.
If they want to protect their own companies and industries and markets, that's fine, but they shouldn't be surprised when others do they same.
Governments need to step in to protect national interests. Because what else is the government even for? Nexperia shouldn't even have been allowed to be sold off to China in the first place.
Oh no, not my hecking companies! We need to let private organizations undermine the greater good to please the false god of free markets!
"Seize the means of production, comrades! Wait, not like that!"
You didn’t see more communism coming?
Based Dutchies?
East India Co. 2? Retake Indonesia?
Looks like the four spring duck technique will have to be remastered by flabby diabetic hands.

I'm sure this takeover had nothing to do with that.
