ok, that makes sense, I like nationalism, how could I not, I'm American, our culture and history revolves around it (at the crucial points, imho). I believe Ayn Rand made the argument that big corps or 'robber barons' could not obtain immense power WITHOUT the assistance of interfering government (subsidies, allowances etc). Thats why I liked her ideas, because they were flagrantly capitalist and she openly says "I am for lezze faire, truly free markets". I also liked her stances on the need for government to have its powers strictly limited. I can see, how that would in fact, prevent a gov from telling a corp "you cant trade here if you manufacture there" and I dont have a solution for that, but I would still want an economy free from gov overreach and tampering to rig the winners. Thanks for your answer, lots to think about there.
