Thus they are pseudo-Marxists who are trying to be conservatives on Marx's terms.

Which is exactly how the WTO couches its rhetoric. All "free traders" engage in the Hegelian dialectic pitting 'capitalism' against Marxism. That dialectic eliminates any other choice in the discussion, for example free enterprise, which is the system upon which America was built, against "free trade".

In the eyes of the falsely named "free traders" if you are for free enterprise, you are against capitalism, so in their eyes you are the same as the communists because there are no other choices in the dialectic. The pseudo-marxists, are in truth, the falsely named "free traders", as they are the ones promoting central control of the global economy, and the economy of the "member states", through a soviet of unelected bureaucrats called the WTO. They act at the behest of "member states", not nations. If the WTO was a conference of nations, it would defy the "free trader" abhorrence for sovereignty. The "free traders" language is carefully chosen to support communistic 'consensus' as opposed to true representation by nations, under their own sovereign laws.

Cite and prove. Provide links, by all means.

America was built as a nation that traded with the world. The idea that America was built on a foundation of autarky is a masturbatory fantasy which Pat Buchanan's adherents stick to. To go far enough back so that you understand, President James Madison tried to put an embargo on trade with Britain and France with catastrophic results. America, and manufacturing regions such as the North, needed the trade...in the end, many states ignored the embargo altogether.

Wrong. People who want freer trade want the individual to make economic choices for themselves as to what they buy. It is the protectionists who will only offer a limited basket of goods, directing the individual as to what they may or may not buy for the sake of the common good.

There is only word for such nonsense. It's bulls***.

What the hell are you talking about?

Please, enlighten us all and define free enterprise and capitalism. And explain why free trade and free enterprise are in conflict in any way. Thanks. Looking forward to receiving your wisdom. ROFLMAO!
