How do I get to TPPA protest in Auckland City? Do the Tramways Union oppose protest??
Neo-Liberalism has said to be the guiding ideology of western economic Institution in late 20th century combining Free trade,Free market and low taxes in an economic strategy designed for economic growth. Proponents point to successes of the asian tigers,India and china as proof of successes while deractor point to african countries as proof of faliure.
It is the most evil ideology in Europe since nazism.
Why? Well on a paper, it looks fine at first: free trade is awesome, and tax reduction can be economic stimulus. In practice though, it means Thatcherism and Reaganism.
Because it also involves deregulation of safety, dismantling of social welfare, privatization of public services, elimination of communal responsibility, and of course, austerity and supply-side economics. But of course, rampant protectionism and corporate subsidies are fine.
It needs to DIE SO EXTREMELY MUCH.
Here is a link to a photo of August 2015 TPPA protest in Auckland.

More BS from MSM.
‘Chief editor of The Nation: No chance to regulate big banks, system has to be demolished to be fixed’

“President Obama has delivered his final State of the Union address, praising America as the mightiest of the mighty. Yet the country is riddled with unsolved problems: racial tensions, growing financial inequality amid increasing military budgets, and many Americans feeling they have no say in national matters anymore. Ahead lies a presidential election with candidates generous on promises and claims they’ll “make America great again.” But is that going to happen? Who has the most rational course? Who’s no more than a puppet of big money – and who is fighting for votes by scaring people into submission? Today on Sophie&Co we ask these questions to the editor and publisher of The Nation magazine – Katrina vanden Heuvel.”
