How do we know this? Because the first step toward Communism is Socialism, and none of the aforementioned are even remotely Socialist in any way, shape, or form.

What exactly is the United States trying to accomplish by trying to protect an uncompetitive manufacturing sector? They don't want to be a service economy anymore?
This feels more like a populist vote-grabbing measure than an actual, thought-out economic policy.

Gonna need some sauce on that one.
Also in response to this I present the American government's subsidising of the US cotton industry to the point where the rest of the world can't compete.

£750m from Quebec, £130m from the Brits. Speaking of which, it's sort of ironic and hilarious that the UK is a little pissed off that the US are putting the 4,100 Northern Irish Bombardier jobs at risk, given the whole 'special relationship' and potential tariff relief the UK were hoping to get from the world post-Brexit.
Also, whose competition is this stifling? Boeing doesn't even produce the type of aeroplanes that have had the tariffs imposed, and they were the main ones complaining about Bombardier in the first place (maybe something to do with Delta buying over £4bn worth of these specific planes).

From the looks of things the CSeries is competing directly with the 737MAX.
Delta, however, said there was no risk to US businesses as neither Boeing nor any other US firm produced 100-110 seat aircraft to compete with the C-Series.

It's the first sign that Trump is genuinely serious about the end of the economic rape of the middle class and the demise manufacturing industry
