Dearest Willie,

"But, in general, the protective system of our day is conservative, while the free trade system is destructive. It breaks up old nationalities and pushes the antagonism of the proletariat and the bourgeoisie to the extreme point. In a word, the free trade system hastens the social revolution. It is in this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, that I vote in favor of free trade.

~Karl Marx, "On the Question of Free Trade" - January 9, 1848

Have you NO clue on what the context of this is?

Are you able to read and comprehend?

Notice:

It is in this REVOLUTIONARY SENSE ALONE, gentlemen, that I vote in favor of free trade.

He was NOT advocating "free trade". He was advocating revolution AGAINST capitalism.

You are such an idiot! Marx was NEVER a capitalist.

Marx IS what YOU are advocating - SOCIALISM and A PLANNED WORK ECONOMY that is PROTECTED.

You amaze me with your proud stupidity.

It's no wonder that dull bulbs like yourself can't deal with bettering themselves or change since you refuse to use your God given brain.

He was NOT advocating "free trade". He was advocating revolution AGAINST capitalism.

You must mean the kind of domestic capitalism that the Bush Administration is undermining with drastic expansion of social Medicare benefits and managed, globo-corporatism.

Don't you feel more comfortable bashing the Pope on the other thread?

Still don't get the idea of 'solidarity' with countrymen, eh? Well, it's ok. About 1/3 of the colonists stayed with King George, and were perfectly happy to take advantage of the victory won by Washington.

Your kind has been around a long time. Parasites last forever.

77- hey - you chicom marxist dummie - quit twisting the facts:

you said:"Marx IS what YOU are advocating - SOCIALISM and A PLANNED WORK ECONOMY that is PROTECTED. "

marx was a globalist free trader - against protectionism -

"Is that to say that we are against Free Trade? No, we are for Free Trade, because by Free Trade all economical laws, with their most astounding contradictions, will act upon a larger scale, upon a greater extent of territory, upon the territory of the whole earth; and because from the uniting of all these contradictions into a single group, where they stand face to face, will result the struggle which will itself eventuate in the emancipation of the proletarians"
