Free Trade is not trade
Free Trade is not Free.
Free Trade is not Green.
Free Trade is a new wage slave trade.
Workers are the real commodities being traded.
There is really no starting point in resolving the economic crisis and
the environmental ones until we define terms. First of all free trade is
not trade and it is not free. Free trade is primarily about moving
production from place to place for the sake of cheaper labor. With this
money values are manipulated based on a mirage of transactions.
Secondly, free trade is not free. The middle class in the U.S. has been
replaced by a new working poor class with the Trade Deficit ignored as
if it is just a statistic in the manipulation of values.
The term protectionism is used over and over again but it too has no true
definition related to its historical useage. It is the same as the term
trade covering a new kind of slave trade where workers have no voice in
the process and everything really happens outside the will of the
people.
Adam Smith held workers as something sacred and the core of all society.
Free traders use Adam Smith to defend their policies but leave the most
important part out of their actions.
The economic crisis comes down to this. The value of workers and labor
have been discounted on the monetary level and in the value of human
dignity in the workday. This the monetary value is more of a real value
than the paper money values and acts as a backup for all money values.
And when human dignity is left out of the mix, everything else breaks
apart.
Paper money manipulations are products by themselves. Workers and labor
are dismissed as any real monetary value and if fact considered to be a
negative in the process.
As to the environment, free trade is the cause of much of the problems
with "dirty" manufacturing increasing and with long haul ocean, air,
truck and rail shipping polluting the earth. The packaging industry is advanced by
imports and the final packaging sometimes represents more costs than the
item inside. The packaging represents an assault on the envirnoment too.
