I think you are missing the point here though.  USA is currently the most lucrative consumer market in the world.  Once China can lift its people out of jobs making less than 300-400 a month (for respectable jobs, probably even less for lower jobs) then they perhaps will be the largest market.  For now though it is the USA and I don't think any country will stop doing trade with the USA and especially not China.  So how is it that all the other countries will just look to trade with China now and forget about USA.  I don't see that happening ever.

If I remember correctly, that lawsuit failed, as well as a lawsuite by Phillip Morris to stop anti-smoking regulations in Uruguay. The court responsible for this deal has made logical decisions untill now, also making companies pay up for fraudulent lawsuites.

also, the one in australia used a really, really strange clause from a very old trade agreement (can't take possesion of a hk brand or something like that) which simply does not exist in the current deals.

People are not against Free Trade.

They want free trade that are not secret deals that benefit the 1%.

Btw I am not a socialist lol

They'll just renamed it and try to get it passed again.

That will be difficult. Canceling the deal will give China time to push its agreement. (Read OP on that)

As said, the deal hasn't been secret anymore since quite some time, and for the US, there isn't much new in there that's all too shady or corporatiat (as said in the OP - the clause that corporations can stop environnemental/health/safety laws is a myth.)

The quest to automate all jobs is what will ultimately lead to a less capitalistic and more socialistic.ish/communistic-ish society though. You should be applauding it. In the long term, there is no way a shrinking working population can still lead to growth in demand. (And the working population will decrease. Guaranteed.)

The only way that benefits humans at all in such a society where robots/computers/AI can do every task better and more efficient than any human, is a program with basic income where the society owns (at least a big part of) the means of production together, with money being distributed among everyone. People are then free to choose what they want to spend it on.

The sun rises in the east. The west is digging it's own grave right now with all that nationalist bullshit. If they keep on with this, Americas status as a superpower will be gone in about a decade or so. Prepare for a new world order with russia and china as our new leaders. And don't even think about complaining. We brought this upon ourselves, nobody else but us to blame.

Get a hold of yourself now or live with the consequences in the future. You can't stop globalization. If the US and the EU decide to pull out, somebody else will take their place and they'll be very happy to do it.

America as a superpower is on the decline

free trade or not

Not if those machines would be in the hands of the few, keeping most profits to themselves. A base income could be a good idea, but not at the cost of social programs.
