Free trade was advocated by [[Vladimir Lenin]] as a tool to overthrow free markets and instill in its place global socialism.<ref>‘Although they stress primarily and most emphatically that the problem of free trade and protection is a capitalist problem, one of bourgeois policy, the Russian Marxists must stand for free trade, since the reactionary character of protection, which retards the country’s economic development, and serves the interests not of the entire bourgeois class, but merely of a handful of all-powerful magnates, is very strongly evident in Russia, and since free trade means accelerating the process that yields the means of deliverance from capitalism.’ (Lenin The Economic Content of Narodism 1894).</ref>
