Brief reflection: Free Trade

in economy •  7 years ago  (edited)


Too many unwary and brainless sponge well-disposed to receive false messages and concepts, still believe that the word "capitalism" is associated with some sort of evil conspiracy against poor people.

If you look at history, the evolution of humankind from prehistoric times and into our times, you could see that a wonderful word holds the answer: Free trade.

All cultures on all continents - because it is implicit in natural human freedom, in their brain program - traded and traded.

What does this mean? Simple: to sustain themselves, the superior primates discovered thousands of years ago that exchanging goods (barter) was a more comfortable, efficient and simple way of life than going out all the time to seek sustenance thanks to hunting or the necessary elements for daily life, the construction of their clothing, the indispensable shelter of a roof.

The free exchange for mutual needs is a natural action and then spreads between tribes, populations, settlements, and civilizations that were isolated and even worse, in endless conflicts and wars that left only misery and calamities.

Thus, the exchange the cultural heritage of trade conquers the world by forging ties and three examples that anyone has ever learned in school are enough: the Silk Road connecting Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and the Millennium Trade in the Mediterranean, mainly from the 8th century B.C. until 2 A.D., and the Salt Road.

Centuries of free exchange, culturalization, enrichment.

The Highest Morality in action, which exorcises humans from natural misery, extends to them bonds of peace and not a "morality" elucidated by outdated minds from inactivity and mental onanism.

If those unsuspecting, spongy brains were to understand by a simple reasoning that this is a common thread of all humans to this day and that growing in technology and moving from hunter-gatherers to farmer-gatherers and then to the Industrial Revolution that catapulted millions of poor people into the possibility of enriching themselves thanks to free trade and capitalism (capitalizing), they would simply be seeing a natural human evolution.

What is not natural is the interference of third parties in this freedom.

But as human parasites also evolved, all institutions of government power, reigns, states, religious and armed forces took advantage of this surplus.

But to be able to plunder mainly with taxes, they had to elaborate laws that the millennial free trade did not need (a natural system in itself, governed by the Natural Laws), and spurious, false moral doctrines. They made agreements from that power with individuals whom they benefited with privileges by forming political-robbing corporations (which many fools call "businessmen").

Free trade is individual freedom to act, without intermediaries. Capitalism derives from it and not from it.
