The WTO represents global managed trade. China wishes Russia to join the WTO and will work with Russia to implement "fairer trade" through the WTO.
The shift in the balance of power will rapidly complete once Russia enters the WTO.
The Congressmen and President who approved the GATT and the creation of the WTO, sure opened a pandoras box, didn't they?
Stopped by to drop off my same two pennies.
Therefore, only by exercising management over globalization can the process be made fairer and more rational to benefit more people. This is a point mentioned in the aforesaid report of the committee.
Our progressives have long supported "free trade" globalization that is rules-based. These Third Way New Democrats readily admit that only a market economy can generate wealth and prosperity. See the DLC's New Democrat On Line, ndol.org. These are the movers and shakers of America's left and the dominate force in today's Democrat Party, I believe.
They will make the rules along with the UN and their other internationalist comrades. They have assured their street-demonstrating anti-WTO comrades that in the end there will be social justice, economic justice, environmental justice, and racial justice.
They have no trouble attracting an endless line of greed-related cognitive impaired useful idiots looking for immediate profits.
Neither the progressives nor the useful idiots care one whit about the sovereignty and military strength of the United States of America, IMO. Her wealth, yes. Her status as a Nation, no.
This is truly a Marxist revolution from the top down and the useful idiots perform the tasks defined by Lenin's New Economic Plan (NEP).
There is criticism of the WTO for being neutral toward "human rights." A big step toward the revolution IMO would be the WTO taking the power to enforce "human rights."
And the "free traders" call us critics socialists -- I guess it ain't socialism if it's on a worldwide scale.
