The activists protest the WTO because they have never been poor. They cannot understand the poor. They hate the rich corporations that deliver wealth to the poor. Privatization is unstoppable. Increasing numbers of people are beginning to recognize privatization is unstoppable.
Poverty is caused by third world elites.
Third World elites retain power by keeping out multinational corporations. The MAI and liberalization of trade favors multinational corporations. It therefore hurts third world elites' ability to retain power. The activist groups seek to reduce the power of multinational corporations. They have forced corporations to justify themselves.
