In 1960, foreign-aligned oil companies in Cuba refused to refine oil from the Soviet Union [1]

American-made in Cuba / American-made in Vietnam / American-made in Cambodia -> the motif of efforts to "make things in the United States" being inherently connected to efforts to put down United States corporations and corporate owners in Third-World countries.
thankfully "American-made in China" is something of a thing of the past, but there are a ton of countries that haven't escaped that fate yet.
Economics and politics are one / Economics cannot be separated from politics (Che Guevara 1961) [3]
Economics and politics are one / This is far more than an economic discussion ... it is a demonstration of the capacity of free nations [Liberal-republicanism] to meet the human and material problems of the modern world (John F. Kennedy) / Delay in accepting the responsibility ... to defend the essential values of our civilization [at the economics conference] ... would signify irreparable damage to [Liberal-republican] society and the imminent danger of the disappearance of the freedoms enjoyed today, as has occurred in Cuba

Sanctions can be anarchic / International sanctions do not require law of any kind nor formal government of any kind; they can happen in an anhierarchic environment or in select cases in things which can be termed blue anarchies -> this is an observed fact which is concrete, making it a Z2 Statement. if you wish to change the Ontology entry, change the proposition itself to the observation that is accurate rather than marking it false. case of: Q49 real-world observation.
Anarchy is not anhierarchy / (9k)
Anarchy can be anhierarchy / (9k) -> Cuba is one of the best examples. anarchists go around trying to say that the negative effects that occur during Government or a locus of conjoined patriots happen because of Government, but what they don't realize is that there can be any number of cases where similar negative effects occur from decentralized processes in which people come together as equals and nobody rules anybody else, all the un-governed equals in the process who fairly agreed with each other to enter the process as a matter of peace and friendship just spontaneously all collect onto a decision that's really terrible, and somewhat literally a bunch of equal people simply decide to be more equal than other groups of equals.
something can totally, almost indisputably be an anarchy and yet do horrible things to other groups of people on the level of Bellegarrigue's concept of "civil war" (warring states periods, violent global empire).
