ZNetwork: Left News, Analysis, Vision & Strategy
The business class is participating in a vicious class warfare, trying to protect their interests, wealth, and power. This consists also of unfair trade practices, pervasuive destruction of the environment, that is especially damaging to indigenous people globally, and war for cheap resources like in Colombia, Vietnam, Iraq, and Venezuela.
We must demand a trade process that is inclusive, democratic, fair, and transparent. And we must do this specifically by stopping the TPP(Trans Pacific Partnership) and keeping the Trans Atlantic Trade and Investment from being signed into law. This would provide us great leverage in stopping the abuses of companies like Walmart against their workers
