Capital controls are communist? That's funny, because up until the Post-WWII order that's pretty much what everyone had. It's what some western nations still have to this day. It's what we do for our entire military supply chain. You know, like those radical lefty organizations Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Raytheon.

Adam Smith himself is communist by many modern capitalists' definitions, the label is getting tiresome. They (and possibly you) just want money without any responsibility, a child's idea of a good life.



Indeed. The US had capital controls: https://www.elibrary.imf.org/view/journals/024/1975/001/arti... .. introduced by noted communist Lyndon B Johnson.
