    a mutating global corporate parasite.

Plutocracy is the default government: money is power. Our democratic and labour governments of the last three hundred years are unnatural (natural ≠ good).

The 21ˢᵗ century corporatocracy is a return to that natural state. I think preventing that return will always be an uphill battle.

    what the TPP does is elevate corporate entities to the level of sovereign governments. They will be able to privately decide public policies, overpower national courts, and sue any country that weakens profit

Bears repeating.
