Well, it's amusing because while even though trade liberalization has a very "liberal" definition and name, it's very rarely trumpeted by those godless americans called Democrats :chuckles: Trade liberalization, and the result of this being unregulated and free markets, causes massive financial stratification and erroding of local markets and economies in favor of the larger corporations who are able to deliver in bulk. The devastation of local markets and economies, plus the wealth concentration in the top 1% of corporate managers, is rather against the current "liberal" cause....
Of course, I think you knew all of this and you were just being facetious.
This is more of an economic lesson for those who didn't know
