What's your opinion on the WTO?Do you think that WTO represents the globalization of capital?Is that right for socialist countries to join the organization?Will this kind of behaviour make socialist countries under the control of capitalist world and lose their way towards communism?

Stay out, and you may lose trade with some other countries.

Join up, and you risk are giving up a significant chunk of your nation's sovereignty regarding decisions that effect big business. (Which is creeping closer and closer to being 'everything'.)

I don't think that the WTO represents the capitalism. They just look for good trade and that there is a good network.

Which states in the world actually *practice* communism? Sure there are several with socialist tendencies but I think you would be hard pressed to find an actual country based on Marx, Engels, and Lenin's ideals, not just those that claim to be communist.


I think it is nearly as difficult to find the capitalism of Adam Smith with all the govrenment aid that goes towards various industries in various countries.

I think that

Rich people and rich countries tell us that they had arranged  a show for us and they are exhibiting the show.

Such as Occupants which are states.

But i dont support communist system.

i believe in fairness.

That will solve the whole problems over the world.

But to provide fairness is so hard and so expensive

Let's fight for our honor.

Braveness and Honor

I disagree with the comment  of Saitukhan that there is no fairness in communism.

I agree with Fuano Shauta .According to me, applying communism in the way which Marx,Engles etc.had shown is not feasible or rather difficult. So from the practical point of view, it could be modified according to the situation.

I say there is no complete fairness in any management systems.

Fairness is hard.

Communism is a bad way to provide fairness.

I believe that humanity must generate a new system including good parts of the others.

Part of democracy, islamic laws and the others.

But the good parts of them must be choosen.

But i know also that to provide 100% fairness is impossible.

I study industrial engineering. They teach us there is no 100% productivity in any way.

The WTO is pretty bad news. It seems to me that it is simply an instrument of big business.

It works like this;
   Wanna be a member of the  big club?  We will open the doors to heaven if you let us take over your banks and bleed you dry - but it is all good! You'll be in good company.  All the good guys are getting bled dry! Don't you know that? Go on. Don't be lonely. Get with the program! Open your doors, and allow the Global Capitalist Elitists to buy your soul.
    Hey, while we are fleecing you, we will even give you vaccination progams! If you are lucky you get to enjoy a strange outbreak of AIDS! Then we will send in BiG Pharma to drug you all! It's great! You'll all have truckloads of really expensive drugs to throw around! Sure, you'lll have to borrow against your childrens futures to finance all the drugs - but that is WAY COOL!
  Then there is your water supply! PRIVATIZE IT or the whole deal is off! Make you entire population dependent on one of our mulitnational friends! They are nice folks! You will really like them. We know your water used to be virtually free, but what's another bill? You'll be swimming in bills! Great! Bills for this, bills for that! Brilliant! You will never have to worry about being debt-free again!
  Oh, and as an added incentive, once you join we promise to forget all about the plans your country has for developing WMD's! What? You didn't know you had WMD's? You have enough to panic the whole world into kicking your ass!
  See, this is an offer you cannot afford to refuse! Now, just go out and sell the idea to your trusting population. We will all go to Hell together! Great fun!


The WTO is the concoction of a bunch or really sick, really greedy, and really stupid people! Have none of these bandits ever heard of Kharma?

Here's a question for you; is it possible to have a decision of the WTO (which affects the people in your country) overturned or even reviewed by your local democratically elected representatives?

NO!

Is this not totalitarianism?
