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.

Did you note that hedgetrimmer put "free trade" in "quotes"?

You do know that such use of quotation marks is the punctuational equivalent of saying SO-CALLED free trade, don't you?

I'm afraid you haven't been paying attention to the globalists who created this abomination they call "free trade". Please go read their materials and see how often they refer to 'rich countries' and how we are supposed to give up our wealth to 'poor countries' to raise their standard of living. That is classic communism.

Free trade will not REINFORCE communism.

LOL! Why are the communists some of the richest people on earth now? Shouldn't their failed system bring communism down? Not if it is paid for by so-called 'free' Americans with our domestic economy and our tax dollars through "free trade".

Individual rights and free-markets will highlight the great internal contradictions of communism.

Individual rights of Americans are violated daily, when the global powers decide that they need to be retrained after the segement of the domestic economy where they worked has been moved offshore through some corrupt deal brokered at Doha.
