Neoliberal style free trade is also for idiots. It has worked pretty well for China --- are they idiots? And for decades, it worked for neoconservatives too.

It has worked pretty well for China --- are they idiots? And for decades, it worked for neoconservatives too. But apparently, it doesn't work for neofascists.

No. The Chinese leadership understands the value of protectionism and other kinds of economic "interference" that are anathema to neoliberal free marketers. That's why free trade has worked "pretty well" for them. > And for decades, it worked for neoconservatives too. But apparently, it doesn't work for neofascists. It actually didn't work so well for them, because they were creating the conditions for "neofascists" (and so high on ideology they were blind to what they were doing).
