Unilateral free trade is better

Hm, I’m more of a fan of multilateral trade with planning by the area selling the product. Though, much of that economic thought process crosses into socialist aspects, I find it to just generally be a historically superior approach.
I'm just against economic planning of all stripes by bureaucrats and government officials, period. Liberty in all economic transactions, minimisation of force, taxation, and regulation. That's why I'm free trade.

Bureaucracy happens far more often in the private sector already, that’s kinda just a given, because market is literally just micro-planning between businesses based on guessing most of the time. Bureaucrats already plan economic moves, they’re just not government ones. Private property rights in general weren’t meant for you, over 90% of the population won’t be affected in the slightest if it just suddenly disappeared. You’re against government getting involved in the bureaucracy that already exists to pursue national interests instead of business ones, which I find laughable considering business interests often run differently, or in complete opposition to the needs of the people and the nation at large.
The difference between government and business is that government has political power – the legal privilege of using force on innocent people – and private organisations do not. Businesses must use voluntary means to persuade you to buy their products – government can just create a law saying you MUST buy their services (via taxation) and then plunder your money if you refuse to fork it over, bind you hand and foot, and lock you in a cage for however long they please. Government is a criminal cartel controlled by some of the worst specimens of humanity who have been corrupted because of this evil and unnatural power. It is because it is so evil that I want to minimise political power by minimising government.
