But, in general, the protective system of our day is conservative, while the free trade system is destructive. It breaks up old nationalities and pushes the antagonism of the proletariat and the bourgeoisie to the extreme point. In a word, the free trade system hastens the social revolution. It is in this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, that I vote in favor of free trade.

-- Karl Marx

Lol. I doubt you have a clue as to Marx and Engels advocacy for what they saw as evil being the means to secure their end, the One World State.

Pathetic.

I doubt that you even realize what you posted. Marx was “supporting” free trade because, in his mind, it increased the “divide” between the haves and have-nots. What we know is that “income inequality” is actually a sign of a very prosperous society. Remember, our poorest are actually some of the wealthiest people in the world.

In other words, he is actually saying that free trade makes a society MORE PROSPEROUS!
