Karl Marx said that free trade was destructive, and would lead the world to communism...Karl Marx's Soviet Union self destructed Willie, not that you've noticed.
I don't think his theories worked out as well as he would have hoped they would.
Do you?

C'mon, Louie...
I gave you an easy one to rant about...
I'm eagerly awaiting your explanation.
All my research indicates that U.S. businesses held significant investment interests in Cuba and enjoyed the support of the Batista government.
How could Castro ever possibly come to power when Cuba had all that "comparative advantage" working in it's favor?

That was not only easy, but you showcased your communist beliefs and your absolute ignorance.

You've bought the communist lie, hook, hammer, and sickle.

Marx was right. Marx studied the weaknesses of capitalism and was right on that. The commie bus-turds took control over half of the Earth using his teachings. Killed 70 million people. One cannot do that with a wrong theory. The mad pigs were suckered on what to do next though. The commie utopia was some mix of terror and extremely monopolistic economy - but that's another story. The truth is, lost economic independence can kill a country. There is a reason why the multiculturalists want to remove farmer subsidies. When we cannot feed ourselves a simple disruption of trade will cause riots and create revolutionaries. The financiers who control the trade may cause such disruption, the terrorists may cause it, the prevailing importer may cause it. A huge security risk.
