"free trade system is destructive ".....Well, that do you know Marx see the free trade system as destructive but what does free trade destroy? Marx tells us in the next sentence
"It breaks up old nationalities" ..... Oh no Mr Bill, you mean a free trade system will destroy the good old USA? Yup, that's how Marx sees it, and he is correct as current developments (WTO, NAFTA, GATT) show. But it gets worse.
[it, free trade] "pushes the antagonism of the proletariat and the bourgeoisie to the extreme point." ..... What this means free traders is that the free trade system chases the lowest cost labor and reduces to the lowest point, subsistence, all labor. That would be you, me and our children if we continue our insane trade policies. But it gets worse.
"In a word, the free trade system hastens the social revolution "..... Hmmm, this doesn't sound good. What this means is that once free trade has reduced labor costs to the subsistence level, well the workers will just say screw it kill the elites and demand a Marxists economy.
"I vote in favor of free trade" ..... Well what do you know, Karl Marx is a free trader! who da thunk it.
