Humpty -Trumpty tries to build a Tariff Wall to the heavy artillery of Chinese , cheap commodities

What I like about all the Chinese Commodities flooding the US Market in recent decades is that it is a turning into its opposite of the following passage : <


"The bourgeoisie, by the rapid improvement of all instruments of production, by the immensely facilitated means of communication, draws all, even the most barbarian, nations into civilisation. THE CHEAP PRICES OF COMMODITIES ARE THE HEAVY ARTILLERY WITH WHICH IT BATTERS DOWN ALL CHINESE WALLS WITH WHICH IT FORCES THE BABARIANS' INTENSELY OBSTINATE HATRED OF FOREIGNERS TO CAPITULATE. The cheap prices of commodities are the heavy artillery with which it batters down all Chinese walls, with which it forces the barbarians’ intensely obstinate hatred of foreigners to capitulate. It compels all nations, on pain of extinction, to adopt the bourgeois mode of production; it compels them to introduce what it calls civilisation into their midst, i.e., to become bourgeois themselves. In one word, it creates a world after its own image."


That was 1848. Today , the cheap price of CHINESE commodities batters down the American Barbarians' obstinate , racist hatred of foreigners . Humpty -Trumpty tries to build a Tariff Wall .
