free trade is going to take over, nothing can stop it. freedom is only getting started, free markets are expanding all over the world. some day we will look back it people like this and wonder, why?

[theriddler890]

God I fucking hate people like this! Only in Quebec!

[latelarania]

jjajaj como corren cuando los milicos saltan a pegarles se iban a sacar la re bronca por tirarles piedras y no poder hacer nada xDD

[soundcore]

Free Trade is not a new idea. It has long been a goal of the Communists. Google on "Communist Goals - 1963 Congressional Record".

haha funny... black bloc revenge!!

Profit is bad when it only benefits the rich and powerful. And the (western) multinationals.... 'free trade' is an illusion....

[wooderson316]

Is profit intrinsically bad? I mean if I make something innovative and new that has utility that people like and can use, is it not ok that I ask for more than just the cost of the items themselves and the cost of my time?

[Strummerkid]

Well when you come up with your innovative product you will need to make it. Usually you will send your product overseas to be made. This economically depresses local workers as they loose their jobs. And the workers overseas find themselves working for you in conditions that are outright illegal in your own country. They cannot unionise, they barely make a living wage and they are routinely murdered when they try to unite and speak up against this.

[wooderson316]

So far no one has answered my question. You have all answered other questions. My question is: Is profit intrinsically - that is, in and of itself - bad?

Answer that and then we'll move on to other issues.

[smc3917]

Profit IS bad when it entails rich, colonialist countries going to 3rd world countries and exploiting everything they possibly can... and the people can see this obvious dimorphism, I'd be pissed too. I can understand the demonstrators position, it's a fight against the new world order and a "global economy," and that's what's destroying communities.

[wooderson316]

You're not answering my question. You are answering the question, "Is profit bad when it entails rich, colonialist countries going to 3rd world countries and exploiting everything they possibly can?"

My question is quite different.

[smc3917]

I think you need to read carefully what I wrote again... what did I say about profit? Profit IS bad when it entails: what?? How can you just ask about profit and paint it one color?? Profit takes makes forms, some better than others. The argument I'm making is that this subject cannot be classified so plainly... Black and white. Right or wrong.

[ElCapitan327]

no, what is destroying communities is a complacent dependence on state power to provide for the people as well as regulate their economic activities...capitalism for ALL is the only solution.

[smc3917]

no, what really is destroying communities is rampant corporate capitalism, aka the New World Order. Remember, the senate doesn't pass laws, nor does the president--lobbyists do. Corporatism, by the way, was a term first coined by the fathers of the Fascism.

[lbcdemon]

I'll answer the question with the answer you were looking for. Yes it is intrinsically bad. It is bad because it is part of the capitalist system of withholding from others the necessities of life to exploit them of their labor. The capitalists claim what is not their's and what they had no part in making(land, water and what not) and then charge you your labor while they make a profit which is something out of nothing.
