    Default Isolationism: Your thoughts?

    What do you think of Isolationism? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

    Good for obvious reasons.
    "Free, do you call yourself? Then I would hear your ruling thought, and not merely that you have escaped from a yoke. Are you one of those who had the right to escape from a yoke? Many a one has cast away his last worth when he has cast away his servitude. Free from what? What does that matter to Zarathustra! But your fiery eyes should tell me: free for what?" - Thus Spoke Zarathustra

    The policy of isolationism is a 50/50 policy depending on the situation.

    The time when the US leaned heavily towards Isolationism and Nativism were good times indeed.

    That was a different world. It seems to me that the era of global politics is here to stay, for better or worse.

    Not necessarily. You can look at Taiwan as late as the 80s as a great example of a nation that had an effectively isolationist economic policy. Did it work? It sure as Hell did. The prohibitions on the importation of goods that were comparable to those manufactured in Taiwan allowed them to transform themselves into the manufacturing powerhouse that we used to be when we had similar policies in place.

    It seems we need a clearer definition of 'Isolationism', as I generally wouldn't equate it with economic Protectionism, but rather an active avoidance of all engagement with the outside world.

    OK, I was just thinking of a combination of military/foreign non-interventionism, protectionism, and a severely limited immigration policy.

    Generally agree, but I would favor (or at least not object to) intelligent intervention to further geopolitical stability in cases that affect our interests (as opposed to the debacle of America's last few decades of foreign policy). And if we wish to stay relevant, we may need to continue to play the geopolitical power game (albeit in a more reasonable manner).

    No arguments here.

    I would have to ask, discounting the Middle Eastern debacle that we've stepped into, what real interests do we have overseas at the moment that are not manufactured by some political interest group?
