A Beginners Guide to Getting Hooked on Capitalism

Intense economic pressure to maintain open trading relationships is the key to peacefully protecting human rights around the world.

Isolationism is not. Military intervention is not. Orchestrated coups are not.

Is it really all that noble to insist the world wait for countries like North Korea to see the error of their ways? Establishing trade relationships does not mean rewarding a brutal regime for abhorrent behavior; on the contrary.

Establishing trade relationships is the beginning of the end for brutally repressive regimes like Kim Jong Un’s.

One taste of capitalism is all it takes. Once hooked, even the most brutal dictator will be forced to comply with the world standards for human rights.

No Comply, No Supply

Setting the trap.
