The Anti-FDI Crowd Better Prove That First World Countries Are Protectionist And Third World Countries Are Free Trade

I still can't forget this ridiculously stupid meme of Heneral Lunatic and Pedro Paterno. Here we have Heneral Lunatic's ridiculous idea that needs to be tested on some uncharted island. If they're not willing to test their ridiculous idea on some uncharted island then they better prove the statement with facts. Didn't Heneral Lunatic say that we need to study history? By saying so, he's practically SHOT HIMSELF at the foot with that statement. Now, they need to present CONCRETE DATA that will once and for all prove that first-world countries progressed not by economic liberalization but through economic protectionism.

They insist that we must study history and look at first-world countries, right? They better bring evidence to their claims! Here are a few things that the anti-FDI crowd needs to prove to be real to justify economic protectionism:
  • Prove that Lee Kuan Yew turned Singapore into a first world country by economic protectionism than by free trade. They better go to Singapore and get a copy of the economic policies regarding foreign investors to see if it has the same provision as the 60/40 of the Philippines.
  • Prove that the United Soviet States of Russia was a pro-FDI country and that Mikhail Gorbachev made Russia progressive through economic protectionism.
  • Prove that it's more fun in Switzerland because the said country is protective of its local economy.
  • Prove that Mao Zedong made China impoverished by accepting FDI while Deng Xiaoping made China rich by rejecting it. They also need to account for why Mao Zedong's closed economy style made China poor. 
  • Prove that Venezuela's current problems are caused by FDI acceptance on the part of Hugo Chavez and its recent even more stupid president, Nicolas Maduro. 
  • Lastly, they need to prove that the Philippines has now defeated its Asian neighbors because to economic protectionism. They better prove that Carlos P. Garcia's "Filipino First Policy" made the Philippines that rich and the most progressive Asian country. 

They better take the challenge before they spread their B.S. because they're just that stupid!
