RE: Debate Forum - Week 10 - Trade Agreements
Large trade agreements benefit only large corporations. It seems to me that behind any power, deputy, and in general the ruling elite are oligarchs who own large corporations. Oligarchs through corruption, through the authorities create favorable conditions for the work of their corporations.
As an example, I can bring an agreement between the EU and Ukraine (the country where I live). If you read this agreement and understand what is in this document between the lines, you can understand the following. If you want to receive a tranche from the IMF, then you have to cut down your forests and sell roundwood at low prices. At the same time, exports to the EU countries are declining, and imports are rising. To whom is it profitable? Naturally, corporations that sell some goods, or something produced with the help of our resources
Sounds about right to me. So what do you think the solution is then. It appears you feel that it is nothing more than a resource grab so that their corporate empires can gain access to cheep inputs in order to reduce costs and maximize profits and control. So how do we deal with this corporate take over then?
here I see two solutions to the problem. 1) gather like-minded people and block the export of resources from the country. but here you can face the fact that the authorities will suppress this uprising. 2) the second option is again to collect like-minder and on their own lands or to extract or grow resources for living. but at the same time you need to somehow separate from the state, so that it does not have an effect on our actions.
