Regardless of the socio-economic system imposed, commerce always persists because natural rights are inherent to human beings. Even in socialist systems, grey and black markets are going to be there.
You mean all these private international businesses have a hard time going around worldwide regulations?
Quite the contrary; the State by lobbying, subsidies and "international aids" is actually benefiting the giant businesses, as the coercion made by the State harms the SME's and we the common people to trade with other countries.
Basically, I'm describing corporatocracy (the State is dominated by corporate business interests).
Do you know, that even with the sanctions, russia exports and imports (almost) as usual, because internationally nobody cares? And if sb cares, they will make a daughtercompany in no time which does the trade?
By "russia exports and imports" (fallacious use of collective nouns), I'll interpret it as businesses affected by the sanctions.
As I said before: "Descriptive economics is not the same as explanatory economics". You can't just infere those sanctions are not working from having analyzed statistics and economic history. You need first an economic theory that tries to explain how the economy works by identifying the causal relationships between economic actions and events.
I'd recommend you to read about Mises's Human Action (praxeology based on methodological individualism).
They going to vote from their own Bolsonaro and fuck every miniority over there.
It's interesting how you are saying that minorities need "positive rights" (monopolical privileges from the State) to participate in society, violating the individual rights of the others.
"Commerce" is only possible if both parties are willing to respect each other's natural right to have private property and each other's right to express consent (voluntary exchange). By trading these goods, there is a mutual benefit (social cooperation) that emerges from wanting to satisfy their own self interest.
I think this is pretty capitalist for my taste. (And please, it's not the same as corporatocracy).
The temptation and crucial flaw of a totalitarian mind are that everyone must play a part in a superstructural battle between good and evil. Standing on the sidelines or taking a neutral position on present topics is not allowed; one may not merely observe or ignore the madness played out among the power hungry.
Everyone needs a take; everyone needs to “be informed” on the grand, irrelevant events of our broken times. Everyone needs a flag in their profile picture—a not-so-grand gesture indicating that they support the “latest thing.”
