Brian, I couldn't be happier to be corrected on this matter. I suppose I
had drawn the wrong conclusion from your endorsement of the virulently
sectarian attack on Green "anti-globalization" protests on the www.wsws.org
website. In any case, neither Engels or Marx's articles on free trade are
very useful for activists today, Jack Smith's crossposting notwithstanding.
We are living in 2001, not 1848.
