(Note to assholes: don't fucking move my threads.)
John Galt has invented a brand new static electricity-powered motor. He and all his allies, all brilliant innovators, have left America and formed a new Capitalist, Objectivist Republic that would make Ayn Rand proud.
Here is how I would easily put that nation down and discredit his system once and for all.
Galtville, as I shall name this country, has a free trade policy with every nation in the world. Including mine, which I shall name Communist Hell!
muhahahah, and all that.
First, I will accept the standard handicaps to put Galtville at an advantage. Let us assume that I have just lost my genius innovators to Galtville, where they are all now working and getting rich. I have no inventors. Just a bunch of hungry workers and a "rapacious" Government that has totally collapsed.
Now, logically speaking:
1) Galtville has to have someone to sell their goods to, in order for them to make money.
2) Galtville, in absence of nanomanufacturing, must have a workforce in order to produce these goods.
3) In keeping with Ayn Rand's philosophy, Galtville has no workplace safety laws, no pollution controls, and of course no taxes except maybe a low national sales tax.
The destruction of Galtville thus follows.
1) I peg my currency to be much lower than Galtville's. My people are already deeply impoverished, so this won't put them at any further loss.
2) I offer to produce Galtville's new power source at a much lower rate of labor cost than can be produced in Galtville, because of their high standard of living. I can match Galtville's pollution and workplace safety laws.
So far, Communist Hell has Galtville at a disadvantage due to lower labor costs. This is a fatal advantage for me, because the difference in labor costs far exceeds any possible difference in costs with regards to taxation and regulations. Plus, I have matched or even lowballed Galtville's regulatory environment. Galtville Corporations enjoy equal or easier regulatory pressures in my country.
Worse yet, Galtville's static electricity-based energy source reduces to nil the energy cost of hauling goods from my factory, to their sales floors.
Now, let's go on.
3) Galtville's Corporations outsource to me to produce Galtville goods.
4) Now that I have factories producing Galtville goods, I also, by the nature of the manufacturing BPO process, have access to the blueprints for Galtville's products.
5) I can simply COPY these blueprints to produce Galtville products at my second factory, which Galtville has no access to. Now I am producing this new Galtville product under my own label.
6) I sell these products back to Galtville, under the Communist Hell label, at a lower price.
How did I just fuck Galtville? Simple.
Galtville is the world's greatest innovator. There are none greater. All hail Galtville!
But!!! I just copied Galtville's innovations and spent ZERO time and money in research costs. So as soon as Galtville innovates, I am immediately competing in the entire global market with Galtville goods with cheaper labor to produce it.
Why buy from Galtville at their prices when you can buy from me at my lower prices?
Galtville will never be able to profit off of what they innovate, because as soon as they think of it, they outsource production; I copy it, and sell it to their people at a cheaper price.
Meanwhile... my people are immigrating to Galtville to go to school and learn. They come back to me armed with all kinds of new Galtville ideas for innovations. The work at offshored Galtville factories and come up with ideas of their own.
In my designated Enterprise Zones, I set these home grown geniuses loose. *
In due time, I am the new innovator, and I am bringing superior products to market than Galtville is.**
Soon, Galtville's working class is impoverished, and I am coming to market to purchase Galtville corporations. Galtville execs retire rich, but good luck to the next generation of innovators: I'm now matching anything you can think of, but cheaper!!!
In due time, falling wages and plummeting consumer activity will lead to lower tax revenues and reduced funding for Galtville schools. Galtville innovation will eventually slow to a crawl as education money dries up and parents lack the money to pay for private options. Galtville descends into a third world nation and Communist Hell now owns all their base.
* There is a misguided assumption that America is the only country in the world that can innovate. Yet it was Japan that came up with the hybrid car, the Prius, which often runs out of stock in show rooms. And India is on the verge of leading the world in biotech and pharmaceutical research. Both industries were once led by America. And, google "China Enterprise Zones" for some startling information.
** That is already a historical fact. See: Toyota.
BTW, Unions are not why you see 2010 Buick cars on the road with a paltry 27 miles per gallon on the highway. That's the fault of Corporate management... that entity you're so scared of criticizing.
