Yes, comrade we must take from the rich and redistribute the wealth.

Have you ever read any of the materials from the WTO and our state department, USTR and trade agreements. THEY ALL talk about "rich countries" giving competative advantage to "poor countries". That marxism is BUILT INTO "free trade".

The redistribution of wealth is occuring in the global 'secretariats' (read global governing agencies) and in the trade tribunals. The communists do not oppose "free trade" because it is making them extrodinarily wealthy, and does nothing to remove them from their dictatorships and give anyone in a 'poor country' freedom.

Marxism can never be “built into free trade”. Free trade involves private individuals (with property rights) selling their land and/or labor and/or capital...freely. Free trade will not REINFORCE communism. Quite the opposite. It will serve to tear it down. Marx had it backwards. Individual rights and free-markets will highlight the great internal contradictions of communism.
