Aquire, own, however you want to describe gaining a car in this alternative system. The point is, getting a product that is able to be acquired for an unfair price due to the CCP propping up and protecting their own companies would still be unfair.
I agree with your want for having everyone be more cooperative. The Chinese started by being quite cooperative in building cars with western companies. I used to think that was good but now that CCP has turned it around and doesn’t want to share any of their developed tech with other players, I think western business greed got the better of us. I’m not as pesemistic as others that the west is very far behind. European brands do make some killer electric cars but they may not have quite the range or quite the low price and they have not been on the market for that long.
Finally, I’m not trying to make bad faith arguments. I just disagree with your position that I’ll buy a dumped Chinese car because fuck the current players for not innovating. That is how I understand your position anyway, if that’s not right please explain the neuance I’m missing rather than attacking me
The problem is you still care about companies. I don’t. My position isn’t “fuck the current players for not innovating” it is “fuck them for exploiting the needs of people, in this specific instance the need of transportation, for profits and their unjust system of private ownership that allows for it to occur.”
The only thing Chinese cars being shipped here does is provide more cars. That’s a good thing for people who need cars. Anything beyond this isn’t my concern. I don’t care if it is bad for the owners of companies; that’s the fault of the system that requires them to compete for profit in order to be a valid business under the capitalist system. Manufacturing in this country can adapt and change their production and distribution to a different economic model, or they can get fucked honestly. If they don’t, then, eventually, the system that gives them control over these resources will collapse, which to me is a good thing, and then people can take back control of what is rightfully ours from the parasitic class, and we can change the economic model without the need for their input.
All of your arguments are still based around the capitalist system. I don’t care about it, if my needs and desires make it “bad for business”, then boohoo. Change the system so it is no longer a problem. The interests of companies and their owners mean nothing to me.
So your solution is change the whole system so you can buy a dumped Chinese car without any guilt?
And for the record, I wasn’t attacking you personally. I was calling you out for using rhetoric, quoted above, that was deliberately phrased to undermine my argument. That was a bad faith argument and I was heated as I didn’t appreciate my argument being blatantly misrepresented.
