Video: Debunking Every Anti-Communist Argument Ever

[Revoltingest]

US industrialization couldn't have happened independently from Britain.

Nah, there was much independence. England
guarded its tech jealously, & wouldn't allow export
of their highest tech machine tools, & workers.
US machining technology evolved largely
independently, with the Windsor VT area
becoming the hi tech capital of the world by
1830 or so. In particular, standards relating
to interchangeable parts flourished here.

Of course, USA benefitted from the Watt high
pressure steam engine (Scottish) in particular.
But we improved that with the uniflow, Corliss
& similar advancements. Thereafter, internal
combustion engine tech came from primarily
from Germany (Otto) in the 1860s, & Diesel in
the early 1900s.

What's your source of info about the financing
of companies that manufactured engines,
machine tools, & other goods? In don't recall
reading about British financiers involved.

It's amazing how you manage to contradict your own argument in just two paragraphs and don't even notice.

For one unfamiliar with USA industrial
history, you've far too much confidence
in your ill considered musing about it.

And they wouldn't want to allow cheap tech of lesser quality being imported.
Thus they invented the "made in" quality seal to protect against lower quality products. "Made in Germany" used to be a diminutive. We ran with it and then flipped the bird to the English. Later we turned around and used "made in Japan" as a seal of low quality ...

The strict policy against exporting technology or workers
skilled in it was about preserving their lead in manufacturing
technology....not preventing imports.
BTW, I collect machine tools & steam engines spanning that period.

I wouldn't watch a forty-minute video to hear a person's viewpoint in the first place. That said, if I had absolutely nothing to do for that amount of time, the chapter headings alone are enough to tell me that the author is not taking the debate seriously.

I could watch some cake set instead.
