"But, in general, the protective system of our day is conservative, while the free trade system is destructive..."
Karl Marx

Yeah, Marx was a fantastic economist, eh?
People against free trade are now quoting Marx?! This is too rich...

Your comment reflects a sad fact I have noticed. Many Americans have lost the ability to think critically, and have replaced it with the impulse to ridicule and the ability to spew righteous indignation. Classic defenses of ignorance.

The Marx quote shows that the desire of Karl Marx, a man who wanted worldwide communism, was to have free trade to hasten the onset of communism.

You cannot be missing that point accidently. You must be doing so on purpose.
