is protectionism right wing or left wing?

[George S]

Protected markets were the realm of classic conservatives but "neo-cons" changed that. Now the left is talking about it since so many of our industries left on container ships to desperate overpopulating labor mostly in Asia.

Below are accurate definitions. Today in the US most progressives and some socialists falsely call themselves "liberal."

True liberals advocate: individual freedom, weak government, and free markets. Progressives advocate: social concern, omniscient government, and controlled markets. Socialists advocate: social responsibility, omnipresent government, and collective markets. Conservatives advocate: moral responsibility, strong government, and protected markets ("neo-cons" with international businesses have adopted freer market policies).
