    You could simply not purchase as much crap. Half of the factories that supply the West’s goods would go out of business if people stopped buying new phones and shitty plastics every full moon.

      Oh no, that’s the freedom way. Gods forbid, they’d be living like the bland Soviet blocks otherwise.

        Please don’t exaggerate, to live like in late USSR you’d have to literally outlaw local non-state production.

        They’d be living just fine. Everything would be more expensive, but with the way prices are connected to power balance and cheap Chinese workers affecting that balance on the side of producers, maybe not as expensive as people imagine.
