Free trader and communist don’t go together.

Yes, they do.

From W. Cleon Skousen's famous list of Communist Goals read into the Congressional Record in 1963:

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

There you go.

Marx liked free trade because he thought it was destructive. So basically the Commies often like it, but for misguided reasons. I consider Marx’s view that it is destructive to permit free trade as an endorsement of free trade to sane people.
