They are significantly better than not having them. That's the point: the lack of free trade and the presence of tariffs is stopping people from trading. That's anti-libertarianism. Free trade agreements, while not perfect, improve freedom overall.
It's not statist to allow people to trade. Yes, there is an issue about standardization, but overall it's a benefit. The TPP probably fell below that benefit though.
It's highly statist to over-regulate trade, though, which is what I've been trying to get across here. I'm not advocating protectionist measures, I just think they're more likely than not to be implemented, whether we like it or not.
This, however? This is likely statism. If you use the government to do this, then this is classic anti-capitalism.
Again, I don't advocate this. You seem to be conflating what I believe will happen with what I'd like to happen, even though they're not the same thing. Nor is it a very helpful approach to discussion, with all due respect.
