Another fool. The people who are most against free trade are the Communists and Greens. You're in their camp, not I.

"The people who are most against free trade are the Communists and Greens."
I thought Marx loved free trade and intended to use it to bring down capitalism. We don't have free trade anyway, we have a wealth transfer system that flows from the U.S. to "emerging nations".
"To sum up, what is free trade, what is free trade under the present condition of society? It is freedom of capital. When you have overthrown the few national barriers which still restrict the progress of capital, you will merely have given it complete freedom of action. So long as you let the relation of wage labor to capital exist, it does not matter how favorable the conditions under which the exchange of commodities takes place, there will always be a class which will exploit and a class which will be exploited. It is really difficult to understand the claim of the free-traders who imagine that the more advantageous application of capital will abolish the antagonism between industrial capitalists and wage workers. On the contrary, the only result will be that the antagonism of these two classes will stand out still more clearly."
Karl loved free trade becuase it alienated wage workers and made a commie takeover easier.
