My opinion is if they leave, the country should seize the properties, and take controle of any company

...if they leave...

Nah, there shouldn't be an "if". For me, that should be the goal, not just a happy accident.

Why would I care if they leave?

[-] fishy@lemmy.today 7 points 2 months ago

Leave. Somebody else will fill the hole, good luck selling your shit in Europe and China.

Also, even if they left wouldn't Uncle Sam still get a cut?

Somebody else will fill the hole

Exactly. Isn't this the express function of "the Holy Market"?

The businesses, property and assets they own typically can't go with them so... Win/Win?

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.
