it's an interesting example of how the human rights narrative can be deployed for bourgeois-backed trade agreements simply through setting up hurdles to access that meet bourgeois goals, which has been all the rage for the last thirty or forty years. Like sure we have labor protections available to individual workers, it's written right into the foundation of the treaty, and all you have to do is use the warp whistle to get from your village to the world of Blade Runner and pay 1200 neodollars for the right to battle androids holding the form you need.

uh oh guess who came out as a trot http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/tony-blair-says-used-trot-10961817

Tony Blair has admitted he was a 'Trot' in his younger days, and believed the Labour party wasn't left wing enough.
When the ex-PM first joined the party, after leaving Oxford University in the 1970s, he thought they were the "betrayers of socialism".
In an interview on BBC Radio 4's Reflections With Peter Hennessey, Mr Blair said his enthusiasm was fired after picking up a biography of Trotsky after performing at a gig with his student rock band Ugly Rumours.
"When I got back I picked it up and started to read it. And I literally didn't stop reading it all night. It opened a different world to me," he said.
"I suddenly thought the world's full of these extraordinary causes and injustices and here's this this guy Trotsky who was so inspired by all of this that he went out to create a Russian revolution and change the world...
He said: "The great thing about Cherie is that she’s literally never changed her politics from the first time I met her. She’d complete contempt for the far left then, which was an unusual position for young people.”
