But, in general, the protective system of our day is conservative, while the free trade system is destructive. It breaks up old nationalities and pushes the antagonism of the proletariat and the bourgeoisie to the extreme point. In a word, the free trade system hastens the social revolution. It is in this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, that I vote in favor of free trade.

~Karl Marx, "On the Question of Free Trade" - January 9, 1848

So Marx believed free trade was a bad thing, but would have voted for it because it would harm society.

There you go again Willie...nice job Ignoring everything in the article that began this thread. Tell me Willie, is it xenophobia with you? I know that you're Christian, do you not glean anything from Matthew 15:21-15:28?

And as for the ridiculous quote you and others constantly 'trotsky' out there, have you actually read the entire speech that he gave? Go on...read it, because I know that you haven't yet! The guy was all over the place on these issues. It was almost like listening to John Kerry on the Iraq War.
