The world is divided into two camps...
Those that support freedom and free markets as the economic expression of freedom enabled by a free people... and those that support various "alternatives" to free markets, as fascism, socialism, communism and capitalism... and their shared expressions in monopoly, mercantilism, corruption, and fraud.
A free market means: no fraud, no monopoly, and no obstructions to participation... each of which are goals and primary purposes of capitalism as means and ends... but, with variation in means and ends, not just capitalism. A state monopoly not better than a private monopoly in fostering advantage... or curtailing it ?
No difference between communists and kings... is true both ideologically and historically. Either you believe that people are legitimately made the property of others, or are the property of the state... or you believe that people are the property of themselves, only, and no one else. Private owners who are slave holders [and those do exist again, today, as the "imperialism" of western values fails]... are not the only ones who want to own you... or the only ones who think they have a right to own you...
Years and years ago... people with health issues would be told to move to Arizona. Because, in Arizona, there was nothing but desert. The need for those with health problems to escape being constantly assaulted by unknown allergens created in the modern landscape... in places where you can plant things and have them just grow... left the best options being to live in the desert, where stuff doesn't "just grow"... or else live at sea, on a ship... for the same reason.
Today, Arizona isn't a good option anymore, for those with health issues. Dams were built, and water made available... and those people who moved to Arizona to escape the pollen... began bringing the landscape they'd left behind in their escape to Arizona... along to Arizona, with them... where, in the heat with adequate water... the vegetation is only more prolific in its production of pollen.
A similar issue is occurring in America, today, where America's Founders, having once deliberately left the failed legacy of European ideas of "ownership of others" behind, when moving to America... declared that separation quite clearly... But, today, those failed ideas are making a attempted comeback... by means of monopoly, mercantilism, corruption, and fraud... as you might expect they would ?
The pollen has long since made it to Arizona. The rest of it... not so much... ?
