God damn, if we got the Soviet Union 2: electric boogaloo here in the states, the only people trying to topple us would be Europe and I doubt they would be all that interested. We were the main driving force of destructive capitalist imperialism throughout the last century and if we suddenly threw an uno reverse card down and shouted sike, there would be little interest in opposing us.
Yes, that’s sort of what I was getting at. Historically speaking there’s no good examples of asking capitalists nicely for things being a productive strategy.
Not if you have a 38% exit tax like Norway.
Damn! I didn’t know there was actually a solution to the Marxist problem of capital flight!
The obvious solution is to simply not allow the capitalists to take anything but the clothes on their backs as they flee for their wretched lives
Unfortunately that’s not possible unless the state seizes their assets.
Oh nooo…
The last time a country seized the assets of the wealthy, half the world declared war against it. Be careful what you wish for.
Do you mean the Soviet union?
Yes
