    Re the USA industrial demise:

    Friedman' Policy (Neo-Liberal-Market morality)
    Let US manufacturing die on the vine because over time the market
    (global or local) will sort itself out without Government intervention
    and its just too bad if there are short term losers (deplorables)
    (Pro Globalisation)

    Trump (Authoritarian Right)
    I'll fix the situation and redeem the "deplorables by blaming the
    "elites" and China & I'll put strong Government intervention
    strategies in place to penalise China ( import tariffs) and force the Friedman
    multinationals to repatriate their businesses and profits
    to America & give them a tax carrot for doing so. (Anti Globalisation)

    Given that dichotomy , Where is the Aussie Right/Far Right with respect
    Australia in variables such as foreign ownership, multinationals
    transfer pricing, our "deplorables (those relegated to low paid
    jobs due to manufacturing moving overseas & automation)
    farming out of national defence etc.

    Since the publication of the 2019 Australian Political Compass
    the LIB/LNP has been driven a flysheet to the Left by having
    to intervene in the economy due to bushfires & Covid
    with a defacto tax rise (credit card debt to be paid later
    including interest with higher taxes)
    The Canadan 2019 Political Political Compass is interesting
    with the Bloc Quebecois Left of Centre rather than being
    Liberal !
