Sorry, I guess I'm a marxist, because I vote for free trade as well.
People often say, but what about those farm subsidies? That's counter to free trade.
Simple. They are a countermeasure to European farm subsidies, which are among the worlds highest subsidies.
The goal is to get Europe to drop it's farm subsidies, and equalize the playing field. Until then, we have to equalize the playing field with subsidies, although ours are much lower than theirs. The Europeon subsidies will eventually bankrupt them,

Farm subsidies and price supports are what assure an abundant and stable food supply. If not for subsidies, too many farmers would be driven out of business during bountiful growing years when prices are depressed. The consequence would be food shortages and famine if that would be followed by a year of adverse growing conditions. In the short term, additional food sources could not be brought into production fast enough to alleviate the shortages.

Why should the "goal" be to undermine the stability of the European food supply?
Yes Nathan, by promoting such imbecilic and subversive policies, you really ARE a marxist.
