It's not capitalism though. Economists have even given it it's own name. It's called mercantilism. It doesn't help when we just make everything binary.

My post, the one you replied to is about America will collapse because they closed their eyes to the world. You're trying to disprove me by showing me just how hard you keep your eyes closed?
Let's keep this to one thread. I'm not American. I am saying Americans can only see their own politics. You've proven that like a siren.
It's funny, I'm not American. My post was about how Americans can't see past their own internal arguments and have closed their eyes to the world. I was talking about seeing the world and the agreements being created outside of American influence like the Chinese led peace agreement between Iran and Saudi. And you come up at me with how MAGA is bad. Sure I agree, but you totally missed the point in exactly the way I knew you would miss it.
Is it? I mean it's clearly working well enough that the other capitalist nations are saying their capitalism is unfair. But really it's a totally different system, and we're not going to understand it if we just call it capitalism with Chinese characteristics.
I'm not talking about MAGA I'm talking about peace agreements that save lives.
I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about saving lives.
Peace between Saudi and Iran that's saving millions of brown lives is stupid? I see, you like genocide.
That's what mercantilism is. A promotion of trade with state control. Which is different than the free hand of capitalism.
I didn't say empathy. I said you need to stop attacking them and look for mutually beneficial solutions and then get those who can understand on board. Just attacking them simply divides.
I am empathizing with the brown people and want more peace agreements like the one Iran and Saudis have.
Also, honestly I don't know if it's better. I just know it's different and at least we should try to understand.
