The
capitalist empowerment law
Unfortunately,
there is no public debate about the most important economic
policy principle: how is it that capital has so much power
and can exploit and exploit both humanity and the states of
this world against each other?
The
answer is astonishingly simple: just the reduction of
tariffs accomplished this "miracle".
The system is quickly explained: With reasonable tariffs (as
they had in the past yes), relocating production abroad are
not worthwhile. For example, if a washing machine
manufacturer relocates its factories from Germany to Poland
to save on labor costs and taxes, the import duty can undo
all the savings. Together with the additional transport
costs, the washing machines produced in Poland would end up
costing more than competing competitor products in Poland.
The breakaway manufacturer's sales would therefore collapse,
and it could hardly do business in Germany any
more.
Conclusion:
With appropriate import duties, producers are well
advised to produce in the country where they want to sell
the goods and make profits.
The dismantling of customs duties (i. e. globalisation)
ultimately means a reversal of power: when it comes to
customs duties, governments hold the book in their hands and
the workers cannot be exploited.If you remove the customs
barriers, the exact opposite develops, the capital and the
companies are in charge.
All
our problems result from this power reversal!
The
gigantic national debt, the dismantling of former social
achievements, the declining development of real wages and
pensions are ultimately only the logical consequences of
reducing customs duties.
No wonder, then, that capital has brought about this
reversal of power by all means. It should therefore come as
no surprise that, through party donations or other benefits,
irritated politicians and capitalist-oriented publishers and
media institutions glorify globalization (i. e. duty-free
world trade).
All
these beneficiaries fear nothing more than a debate on the
reintroduction of customs duties or similar measures
such as the increase in VAT.
