    So you’re blaming capitalism rather than uncivilized governments of these countries that fail to uphold basic human rights? Horrible take is horrible.

    I’ve said this entire time, authoritarianism is the issue. You say socialism causes this, yet it exists under capitalism too. You don’t blame capitalism for this but yet blame socialism when it happens under socialism. Tell me how that makes sense. I’ll wait.

    I think you mean median

    No, I meant minimum. The average person may live a fine life, but it’s built on the backs of those at the bottom. If they aren’t there then the average person doesn’t get what they’re used to today.

    You know what the funny thing is? That if there was no tarifs, there would be more demand for these goods and poduction would create more jobs with better salaries there. But EU has policy of protecting its internal market.

    Possibly, though unlikely. There are more people than jobs, and the owner class controls the means of survival, so workers are forced to work for them and can’t bargain for anything better. What would help them is union, worker ownership, or a government that protected them. These are socialist things though, and the owner class will prevent them from happening.
