On your previous posts you really do talk a lot about capitalism. You couch your arguments in the fact that you are a capitalist and everyone that opposes you is a socialist. That is a marxian [sic] viewpoint.

There you again. At its most basic level, a "Marxist viewpoint" would involve promoting, or sustaining, a proletarian revolution. And speaking of viewpoints, you should ask yourself whose are those closest to the tradition of Marx, yours or your "free-trading" opponents? In other words, before accusing someone of having Marxist tendencies, you should first explain why the true Marxists stand on your side of the fence.

What is "my side of the fence"? How is advocation Americanism marxist? Explain to me exactly what is "free" about a global socialist organization making trade policy for purportedly free Americans? It is true that congress no longer makes trade policy, but an unelected trade minister does. How is that Constitutional? How does that support freedom?


"Communists and socialists feel sure that setting up international "free" trade systems which impose regulations chuck full of intrigues, redistribution plans, arbitrary law, and interdependence schemes, will win out against the conservative interests of every free nation.

What could be better than to use "free" trade to reverse the advantage of the relatively free, moral, prosperous, and strong nations of the Earth, so that the tyrannical, amoral, poor, and weak nations of the socialist bloc might get the upper hand?

What could be a more cunning approach than to market the idea that those who oppose "free" trade are enemies of freedom?"

This is the dialect.Those who oppose "free" trade are the enemies of freedom. And yes, my "free trading opponents" mirror Marx's vision of the world completely.
