Well, I'm sure the elites are making off well so who cares about the workers. I swear, we are setting ourselves up for another mass round of communist revolutions. We think we slew the beast and set up the correct breading grounds for its spores to resettle. In Italy there is already a major communist movement. Seems the unemployed Italians don't have the credit limits of Americans.

Its interesting that you make the connection between "free trade" and a resurgence of communism.

Look whats happening south of the border here:

Venezuela, Cuba sign free trade deal, spurning US-sponsored FTAA

HAVANA (AFX) - Cuba's communist leader President Fidel Castro signed an accord backing a trade zone sponsored by his leftist-populist Venezuelan ally, President Hugo Chavez, which aims to rival the US-sponsored Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA).

The Cuban and Venezuelan leaders said the FTAA would only make Latin American countries more dependent on the US.
Cuba has been excluded from the FTAA talks, while Venezuela has refused to join the process.

The FTAA 'is the most complete expression of the desire for domination over the region and, if it comes into action, will constitute a deepening of neo-liberalism, creating unprecedented levels of dependence and subordination,' Castro and Chavez said in a statement.
The Cuban-Venezuelan trade initiative has been named the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA (LSE: ABA.L - news) ).

The rival plan seeks 'the transformation of Latin American societies to make them more just, better educated, more unified and more participatory,' said the statement.
The Chavez plan highlights the role of the state in the economy.
