MODERATORS
Isn't this the point of the free market? Shouldn't capitalists rejoice when things are working as intended?
Only when they own the means of production.
If they can't extract profit from Chinese imports, they don't want anyone else to import them.
Yes but we don't have a free market.
States don't serve the majority, per se, but whoever wields the state. Cheap imports are good for consumers, but producers struggle. Capitalists wield the state in America, so this is a bad thing.
