(I)n general, the protective system of our day is conservative, while the free trade system is destructiveit breaks up old nationalities and pushes the antagonism of the proletariat and the bourgeoisie to the extreme point. In (other) word(s), the free trade system hastens the social revolution. It is in this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, that I vote in favor of free trade.So you are not sick of subsidizing Red Chinas blue collar employees. Interesting way you think, comrade.
Karl Marx
From the list of 45 communist goals for the USA
- Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
- Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
- Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
- Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the UN.
I think Marxs view of trade is better than the view that you and Trump have.
When we have reduce tariffs our economic dominance becomes further solidified. We should be in favor of reducing tariffs even if our trading partners wont do the same.
