Has been since the 1950s. Yes.

It’s my own way to try to protect what needs to be protected. The biggest obstacle to the safety and happiness of every person is their inability to see the truth about what is important and what threatens the things that are important.

It is not an easy task to make people see. Sometimes I have trouble even putting what I can see into words.

Karl Marx is being facetious.

He doesn’t actually favor free trade.

In fact, the tell tale sign of a Marxist system is it LACK of free trade.

England has government run healthcare. A few can afford to opt out, but most will never see a private run hospital. It is a Marxist system.

“Das Kapital” is a book dedicated to central planning.

Saying Marx favored free trade is like arguing Hitler loved Jews because he gave them a place to live (i.e. concentration camps).

God, you Free Traitors™ are unbelievable. Marx spells out why he is in favor of free trade and you can’t accept it. There are serious psychological problems going on here with you....

Marx is wrong about Free Trade.

That said: he didn’t support it.

I explained why.

There’s no need to attack my character.

Marx goes into great detail the damage that free trade does to industry and society, everything he said would happen did happen in GB and now is happening in the USA. Take the blinders off. Free Traitors™ are worse than Marxists.

Marx is wrong.

Marx didn’t study economics. It wasn’t his field.
He never had a business.
He never made a payroll.

Why are you putting so much faith in a guy who doesn’t know what he’s talking about in any subject?

You didn’t read his speech. George Washington was a protectionist so do you want to trash him too? Go ahead.

Another wise "putting into words".

My Dad lived in the middle of struggles because he and my stay-at-home Mom raised and provided for 8 kids, of which I'm the oldest.

But he self-published a little book and one of the things he said in it was "I lived a life of struggle, but the struggle was fuel."

So we complain about our struggles, hut our victory over those struggles comes to define our lives.

And if you take away the struggle, a man is no longer a man. Every one us needs to be building something, otherwise we are psychologically ready to die... as a dependent socialist.

"Ism-s" kill mankind.
Under this extreme regime, man is no longer dreaming, he no longer has faith in anything, himself most of all. With these both dead and gone, mankind would be nothing more than

a pile of rocks.

Reminds me of a cartoon video of Alan Watts, the great philosopher of the 1960s/70s talking on subject of evolution, intelligence, and rocks.

Check out the first 3 minutes, or more of this 12 minute vid.
