Yeah well, fuck David Ricardo(, it’s obvious that we should buy&produce locally, his counter-intuitive results are only valid from a consumer viewpoint, not taking into account the jobs created, the taxes collected by the state, the more secondary enterprises benefiting indirectly from a good economic health, …), he was only used to justify a neo-colonialist “free trade” locking “poor”(exploited) countries into selling raw materials, as well as selling the ownership of their companies/mines/‘natural resources’, etc.
So fuck David Ricardo.
D.Trump is right in his desire to get back american companies in the u.s.a., even if he only did so once he stopped benefiting from it, the u.s. is too powerful to be oppressed for such decisions, unlike :
Haiti in the 1980-1990s, who tried to protect its rice, but the unholy trinity forced them to give up on that measure, and Miami’s rice quickly took over, assholes ;
Before the 1980s, Ghana produced its own clothes, but because of the western SAPs, they were forced to buy clothes from Europe and Asia and lost their textile industry ;
In Argentina during the 2000s, Kirchner also tried some protectionnism like China, but as usual the unholy trinity came to order people around, the US, EU, and Japan added to the criticism of the WHO, and commercial pressures forced them to change their mind ;
Tanzania also tried to do the same for its agriculture, etc.
I won’t forget that the People’s Republic of China was the only non-western aligned country to ever emerge since the colonization, and also one of the only one who refused to follow western advices/orders.
