world trade

[Pawn Power]

this is a broad topic but i just wanted to know eveyones stance, or a marxist/leninist stance on modern world trade

[Rasta Sapian]

international fair trade market value

ie. soft wood lumber worth est. 1000.00 global monetary funds

to be traded for, cattle from south america est. 1000.00 global monetary funds

equals fair trade, no currency has to be used ie. wood for beef

whatever the fair trade works out to will be equal, value set by international assembly, demand and supply etc.

500 board feet per cow weighing est.1500 pounds, something along the lines of that, will be easily acheived with a universalist system, classless, cashless world



peace yall

I don't think that countries that are not economically advanced enough to compete with the US should be completely deragulated, as the WTO, NAFTA and the FTAA would have them do.

Now this analogy that I'm going to make is very blunt, but I think it reflects the situation; to expect a country from the third world to be deregulated and not go into recession after trading with the United States is like expecting a child to have sex with an adult and still have a well balenced youth.

Free trade in theory is the best way to go. In practice it is the worst way to go.

the WTO, NAFTA, and FTAA aren't about removing trade restricions, and they definitely aren't about free trade. They are about privatization of trade restrictions, aloowing multinationals to set the rules with no input from gov'ts or the people who elect them.
