What is interesting it that many so called purveyors of freedom are blind as to why Marx supported free trade devoid of patriotism and ethics from economic consideration.

What's interesting to me is that the protectionists who want to smear free traders with the taint of Marxism are the ones who actually endorse more government control over the economy. All for the "common good," of course.

Look, Marx did endorse free trade. So, what? He also endorsed manufacturing. Does that make manufacturing Marxist? It's ridiculous logic [if you can call it that] to associate free trade with Marxism if you don't also make the link with everything else he endorsed.

So, either be consistent or drop the phony link to Marxism you depend on and make some real arguments.

I minored in econ in college. As you get older and WISER, you will understand that economics is taught in a political vacuum, which is ridiculous.

Unfortunately, economics as taught in America since WWII is not taught in a political vacuum. Keynesianism reigns and neo-classicism follows close behind. Both are extremely political and favor government intervention. You evidently learned your lessons well.
