There was nothing Marxist or Communist about the article or Webb's view.
You need to study your economics. You had every socialist strategy in there couched in emotionally appealing rhetoric. You had redistribution of wealth, you had government dictating wages, you had the issue of wage 'fairness' dictated by the nanny state. ALL are anti-capitalism and anti-economic freedom. Then you throw in the protectionist and isolationist message. You might as well sign up to become a left wing democrat to endorse that, because it was Karl Marx in sheep's clothing.
