“Karl Marx liked Free Trade. Look it up.”

He actually liked capitalism, as a prelude to communism.

Apparently you want us to skip right to the communism.

Adam Smith also liked free trade. Unions don’t. You must be a union thug.

Ya checked any unemployment stats lately? Just WHO is winning this here “trade war”??

Exactly.  Unemployment was below 5% back in '08 when the left voted in Obama's war on trade:

Barack Obama Pledges To Unilaterally Reopen NAFTA by ObamaOnNAFTA
  • 5 years ago In a February 26, 2008 debate, Obama pledged to unilaterally reopen NAFTA with the threat of a "potential opt out"

 

 

The loony left's wars against trade are stupid.

Marx actually predicted Communism would occur in the Industrial countries.....instead it took root in countries, like Russia, which never really even went through the "Capitalist" stage.

It's one of the reasons our Communists, think that the Soviet Union wasn't a good example of "real Communism"....In other words, "Communism works, it's just that the right people haven't tried it yet."

I give up. Who is freeing traitors, and what does that have to do with the price of peas in Patagonia?

Now, I really have trouble taking you seriously. She is definitely NOT for free trade. You might have more in common with her than I would. She collects your precious tariffs.

I give up.

Excellent idea, me too.  Here we got an issue crucial to America and the threads falls into cheap name-calling.   Maybe we can come back in a bit and see if anyone here wants to talk about this disastrous war on trade we've been dealing with for tha past five years.
