Free trade and trotsky

[Rojo]

And also my dad the capitalist is arguing with me about free trade and how its actually good for poor countries. I need to know more stuff to support my arguments against him. help me out.

The "marxism.com" stuff for trotsky is pretty extensive.

For "free trade" you can rent the movie "Life and Debt" which is about neoliberal policies in Jamacia. It would be an easy way to talk to your dad about it becuse you could use the film as a jumping off point for discussions using concrete examples from the film.

I cant find a site "marxism.com"

But this site is good for understanding basic positions of Trotsky.
