Do you expect me to trust a socialist to redistribute wealth? Hah! They will just fill the power vacuum left by the plutocracy and serve their own interests, or serve the plutocracy if they are social democrats.

Infallible logical proof to follow...

The only way to empower the working class is to give them the individual freedom to secure them from and oppose any political authority that is being abusive, whether it's a Tsar or a people's republic, actual structural changes, not some mystical ideology. Such freedoms include the freedom to unionize, to strike, property law including regulations related to law enforcement such as safety regulations (your body is your property) and anti-fraud legislation, all such things are completely justified. This does not include oppressions like corporate welfare, arbitrary taxes, tariffs and subsidies, special tax codes and legal immunities for board members and other such examples of keynesian interventionism that self-avowed "progressives" are often seen tripping over conservatives in the rush to protect.

What's wrong with growing oranges in a greenhouse?
Nothing, what's wrong is forcing people to pay extra just so the oranges are grown in Iceland, instead of imported from Spain at a fraction of the cost.
Those that want genuine oranges imported will have to pay more
Why?

Every major economic power in history has been protectionist.
Victorian Britain was dedicated to free trade. Read more books.
>>12
The markets were more free and less regulation, they became economic powers by expanding their economies to include foreign markets and foreign resources. Protectionism is only good as a reaction against other protectionists.
>>13
They're more expensive because of the huge heating and lighting bill.
>>14
Oranges are a commodity that is cheap in some countries and expensive in others, protectionism is about taxing trade, if you can't see how oranges are related you must have a pretty deluded view of protectionism.
