Look. I'm not trying to start another pointless struggle session. Far from that, I want each and every one of us to confront this most strange attempt at multilateralism by two of our favourite existing socialisms.

There's no substantial article on the environment. Not a single word on climate or pollution. And nothing on labour issues.

I get that the whole thing is brand new and the member countries will probably amend to add more to the document in later stages.

But now is the point the heads of governments go back to their respective legislative body for ratification. Again, nothing on labour, the environment or the climate.

I want us Chapos to confront the likelihood that existing socialist experiments are faltering, even abandoning, a key promise of socialism to workers: reducing work hours for more leisure time. That, and no idea how trade is going to connect to the climate crisis.

    Sounds like they can force the board of directors to have party members and they can force the workforce to have party members but can't force senior management to be party members.

    1 is "Nobody can be forced to be in senior management of a specific nationality"

    2 is "People CAN be forced to be on the board of directors of a specific nationality"

    And there is no clause for the rest of the workforce therefore it is assumed allowed.

    In fact, the more I read it over... It doesn't affect it at all? The clause doesn't prevent forcing people into positions, it prevents forcing people based on requiring they be a specific nationality. You could force people based on being a CPC member and let the company pick whatever nationality they want? I am not a lawyer.

    This shit is really hard to parse though.
