> Is this not outrageous? That we're so intolerant of other kinds of economies that we must try and band and block so that people don't realise the disadvantages of our own system? If your system is so superior, let it compete on its own merits.

Any country with any sort of economic system can toss money (or labor at least) around. If you want to dominate the tire industry for some reason, you can just give them money, favorable government contracts, or whatever else.

That doesn't prove your system is superior, just that you can tax people and write checks.
