Wow. They are so wise as to decide for 320,000,000 individuals with whom for what and at what price to trade.
I guess we know now how Lenin won .... people like you.
Marx, just like you, loved the effects of free trade comrade miltie. You are a useful tool in international socialism.
LOL,
Karl Marx advocated Free Trade, i.e. Capitalism, because (a) whereas Protection builds up the nation-state, Free Trade breaks it down, as a prelude to the creation of a world-state by the Capitalists (b) Free Trade breaks down traditional culture, as a prelude to the creation of a world culture (c) Free Trade exacerbates class warfare, and through this the Capitalists will lose control of the world-state - they will be defeated by the impoverished classes, with the help of their backers in the higher classes.
Marx quote: In a word, the Free Trade system hastens the Social Revolution. In this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, I am in favor of Free Trade.

It’s not about you Milt - at some point your individual opinion collides with others. I agree that you should be able to buy all the cheap underwear at Walmart you wish. But why don’t you pay my share of all the other unaccounted for costs that go with it for me since you seem to care so much. In my tax bracket I’d much prefer the underwear were two dollars more a pair and I got to save all the rest.
