@SebastianTyne RKP:n rooli "kansanpuolueena", jota äänestetään tottumuksesta on kovan paineen alla. Puolueen vihervasemmistolainen olemus on myrkkyä monelle suomenruotsalaiselle. Samalla vassariäänestäjät vihaavat RKP:tä koska se meni hallitukseen persujen kanssa. Aikamoinen saavutus.
@eugyppius1@x26457474 Yes they were used before the current tax systems to generate revenue. Obviously tariffs dont create anything but they shield emerging industries and even out things. Between US and Europe they make little sense as the economies are equally developed.
@eugyppius1@x26457474 Whatever one thinks of Trump's tariffs, historically modern national economies were built using tariffs. The British and later the Americans removed them once they dominated global trade and both tried to reinstate them later when facing competition.
@un_ter_ge_her@eugyppius1 What is the point of talking about "populism" when the word is democracy? Populism, except for a brief period in 1890s America, is not a real world thing but an invention by academics.
