Continuing from Marxism discussion with RealUn and MrA

@ProfessorX

Certainly abolishing things like NAFTA would be a good start bringing industry, commerce, and manufacturing back to the United States.

I am all for that as those international moves by corporations should of never existed to begin with as it only harms the American working class.

But the problem with all of that is a couple of things. One is that you’re going to run into those hardcore global international capitalists who are going to tell you that you have no business telling them where they can build and operate their plants, warehouses, or factories at where telling them what to do is akin to communism. They’ll say the same thing about the workers where if you tell them that they should make a preference for American workers over Mexican, Indian, Korean, Taiwanese, or ect.

The next problem you’re going to run into with that is so much of these jobs, occupations, and modern careers revolve around a lot of high degree of training along with education.

To retrain the American workforce you’re going to have to make higher education and on the job training universal for all workers. Again, you’ll be accused of being a Marxist and a communist for suggesting such.

Throughout my life I became so accustomed of being accused of being a Marxist and communist that at some point I just owned it saying to myself, “Okay, I guess I really am one.”
