Voice from the Grave

Afraid I was taken in - like many more, by a fake Marx quote.

However, with a not dissimimlar meaning, Marx wrote in the Chartist newspaper in 1847 as follows -'Is that to say we are against Free Trade? No we are for Free Trade, because by Free Trade all economical laws, with their most astounding contradictions, will act upon a larger scale, upon the territory of the whole earth, and because from the uniting of all these contradictions in a single group,where they will stand face to face, will result in the struggle which will itself eventuate in the emancipation of the proletariat.'

A lesson for our times perhaps?
