Hey Destro, Read what Marx said very carefully, because he makes some points that should generally interest you. Also keep in mind that when he says "liberals" he is not talking about what the term "liberal" has come to mean today. A "liberal" in his time was someone who believe in limited government, free market activities, and individual freedoms. Next, notice how torn he is about endorsing trade. He does not like it but he does see it as a means to destroy a country's sovereignty - hence the final paragraph quote of his. but his conclusion about this was all wrong because he ignores the very thing that he mentions earlier in his speech...which is, the freedom of capital flow. Take another look at it. But, this time, do not just isolate a quote, instead internalize the whole concept. It does seem that Marx may have been correct in many of his conclusions...all except the final one that he makes.
