“Basically, tariffs create stable jobs and increase wages for American workers...”

That’s why tariffs are the bane of global socialism: it PREVENTS The Race to The Bottom.

Karl Marx was very much in favor of Free Trade.

Yup. He wrote about it explicitly. Not sure why “republicans” believe in the fiction of free trade.

Wealth is like water, it flows downwards until all levels are equal. If you have the high ground, you must build a dam or risk being left high-and-dry.

Tariffs are to the Free Traitor™ what sunlight is to the vampire.

That seems to be one of the many things that the Far Left and the Globalist "Right" have in common: both want free trade and open borders to facilitate an international order and a race to the bottom for the working and middle classes. The only difference is that the Marxists think this race to be bottom will eventually lead to revolution while the advocates of transnational corporations and finance hope that rock bottom (for everyone else) will be permanent.
