It's all stuff Karl Marx wrote about before there was ever such a thing as socialism.




NAFTA is socailist? Are you nuts? In case you have noticed, the people that are always protesting in mass outside the World Trade Organization meetings are socialist liberals. Socialists are certainly not in favor of these so called "free trade" agreements as they exploit the poor in the third world and cost jobs to the middle class in industrialized countries. There is absoultely nothing socialist about them.

For someone who proclaims "it isn't black and white" you sure do label things that way with the "socialism is the cure for capitalist ales" nonsense. I never said NAFTA was socialist, simply said a socialist style leader installed it.
