The biggest mistake made by liberals in past decades was promoting a neoliberal economic doctrine which significantly increased income inequality, destroyed US manufacturing base while trying to create other social equalities which can be controversial at best or even unnecessary.

The purpose of Government is to serve public interests in a self governance country. However the government can deviate such purpose in two ways:1) the private interests can corrupt it to boost their own interests 2) the government bureaucrats benefit themselves by controlling its people.

People brainwashed by neoliberal ideology like to say communism starved millions of people, which is true. So capitalism is the way to go. They forgot that the failures of laissez faire capitalism in early twentieth century led to two world wars and killed millions too.

This is the best scenario, requiring lots of US commitment. You have to arm Iran militias to fight the government. Most current government people benefit from the regime and will fight for the regime. US didn’t make all the necessary preparations. It is not clear who will fight with Americans now

That is right. Tax from rich build infrastructure to support talents who make the rich richer. In addition, the local market is important to the business. If you move to California, then your company selling products to California need to pay import tariffs. This is trump’s tariff’s logic.
