Thanks for the links, I joined. Now, within the realm of unconditional love, you can choose to give me an apple with no strings attached. You can choose not to ask for anything in return, for the favor not to be returned, for no compensation, retribution, trade, exchange, balance.
Giving your children apples can be very good for example. So, within a closed-system like a family, unconditional love is contagious. For example, I bought a $800 plane ticket for a girl I never met back around 2008 or 2009 so she can participate in Revolution Hawaii which is a year-long Salvation Army missions trip where young people get involved in helping people, children, the homeless, etc.
So, therefore, I say that to say I believe in unconditional love with no strings attached. So, like you said, I may give you an apple and expect nothing in return. I believe in helping people. In some ways, me typing this to you is like an apple because you don't have to reply to this comment. We are not in a forced contract. So, if this is an example of trade-free, then I agree. If trade-free means the exchange is not forced or required, I like that. Within Trom, I see around four different networks, one is a social media network, another one reminds me of Bit Torrent, IPFS, etc, a third site is a video platform, and then that first one you shared with me has eBooks, PDF files, things like that. I do like what I see on Trom. So, I joined. I posted a hello post. I will try to upload videos. I may try to share files and books in the future.
I like free markets but I also like to freely give away apples too.
Some people are motivated to give away free apples.
I believe in the value of teaching and encouraging people towards giving away free apples.
Some people can benefit from the free apples and then they may choose to give away free apples too.
But some people will choose not to Pay It Forward which is a name of that one movie.
I do believe in some of the good aspects within anarchism, no governments, smaller governments, propertarianism, etc, and also in socialism, communism, that is within the aspects of sharing is caring which we learn from Winnie The Pooh.
But like I said, some people end of taking advantage of potentially excessive welfare which begun accelerating in the United States of America especially in the 1930s for example.
Free markets within a larger scale, like on national and international levels for example, has motivated people, meaning innovation within the realm of supply and demand, some of it could encourage quality over quantity.
However at the same time, within the realm of local communities, families, friends, things on a smaller scale or level, free markets can be counterproductive or the act of giving away things to people based on what they need over what they want, that can be more sustainable. Well, it can be better to focus on what people need over what they want.
Free trade can cultivate local communities and it has. From the Bible itself, spoken by Jesus Himself, the golden rule is treat others as you would want to be treated, to love your neighbors as you would love yourself, to love your enemies, etc.
I believe in a balance between free markets and free trade.
I see people taking advantage of free stuff. The bad aspects of communism has encourage people towards waiting for free handouts. Free markets can motivate people towards hard work. But some people need help. And some people need to be motivated towards helping themselves.
There were times in the past when churches, organizations, groups, clubs, people, etc, would reach out to help people in America for example. But like I said, a major thing that damaged the USA was the rise of fascism, etc, via the rise of elevated welfare which was supposed to be temporary but went on and on for decades and decades towards inflating and even hyperinflating the dollar. They were even making gold and alcohol illegal. That is prohibition. And when government comes in to help, that got in the way of the individual charities which would come in to help people.
I believe in rewarding people who do good. If you do very good, you should get more than me. I believe in equality of opportunities but not necessarily in equality of the end-result. I like free trade but my emphasis is in free markets. I might side with free markets up to like 80% and free trade can be at 20%.
The debate can be how many people will choose to free trade and how many people might choose to be guided excessively by greed, pride, lust, hate, anger, emotions, beliefs, feelings, thinking, etc, towards more power, wealth, money, possessions, land, control, influence, etc, in an excessive way as to abruptly and excessive and aggressively violate private property rights of individuals and such.
Some people or perhaps too many people choose either towards selfishness, towards the lust for power, etc, or at the very least towards not getting involved when tyrants like Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Lenin, Obama, Rothschild, Rockefeller, Soros, globalism, China, communism, Fauci, United Nations, etc, rise up. We should rise up when tyrants rise up. Stand up for what is right. Fight for what is right. Some people choose to be ignorant, arrogant, etc. So, they choose not to say anything when they see bad people do bad things. They choose not to stand up. I believe in not wearing a mask, getting Covid Vaccines which are killing people, etc.
Free trade may be one step removed from unknowingly letting a murderer into your house for dinner. I'm against Open Borders. I do not believe in freely giving away too much excessively and too often to the worse types of people on the planet. And people can become too lazy. That is why I prefer free markets over free trade as free markets can weed out the lazy people.
I say, be smart, be wise, towards who you choose to give free apples to as opposed to giving free apples to everyone.
