trade existed even before WTO.

WTO did not invent trade, thus trade is possible without WTO.

But maybe you are too indoctrinated by western propaganda and you cannot trade without WTO.

Continued from below: I mean it's understandable right??

P.S. I hope that I didn't come across to strong with my sarcasm. Seriously dude WAKE UP and lose the blind faith! The WTO is an organization that is designed to perpetuate economic inequalities ad infinitum. It is only concerned about the interests of the rich and their riches! We need a forum that gives common people a voice on the economic policies that effect their lives!

and you can bet your sweet ass that rockefeller was right in the middle the whole time too !! changing things, removing things, all for the "better" ! well, is it fucking better ? ! huh ? !!! fuck no !!!!!!!!!!!!! just look at how much we import. and how little we export ! and the iceing on the cake was when that shill bastard clinton and his punkass vice pres. gore did the dirty deed of nafta !!! the puppet masters are steady at work. brzezinski said we're politically awake. we can change it

@cosmicbuddha24 the kind of trade that would occur is bilateral... we dont want this regional fragmentation, it would be the new colonial blocks on the past, big countries with peripheral satellites... that didnt end well vis-a-vis the first and then the second world war... were going that way with the EU, ASEAN etc, blocks of powers bilaterally trading, etc... the guy at 5:45 is absolutely correct!

transnational corporations and certain NGOs can deny all they want about the issue of loss off national sovereignty.but it is happening.the westphalian system was much better. We are just taught western propaganda that there needs to be central organisation to maintain world order. But that central system does not even work... trans orgs are basically dictating to gov. and there is still backlash and war. Trans. orgs thanks to WTO now have access to third world countries making the rich richer.
