Sort it out at the next elections, not by rioting, destroying private property (frequently owned by small-businessmen, not corporations) and beating up policemen. That’s just petty bigotry and wilful ignorance.

Your argument about the farm lobby calls for a removal of subsidies (which, as you point out, benefit large companies rather than small ones). The middle class in the US, Canada, EU, Australia, Japan, etc ARE the majority in their respective countries and so their interests are represented by their governments. Developing countries frequently have unrepresentative governments. Again, not something that the WTO was designed to sort out.

You have a set of politicians sitting around making decisions about the large masses of people in their respective nations. This upper crust is certainly pandering to others within their country–but they are not as concerned with the large body of lower class farmers and laborers. They are more concerned with the middle and upper middle class of people that have the money. For example, the farm lobby in the US is pretty powerful, and is run by people holding huge tracts of land. Politicians are more interested in them. Not the Joe Schmoe who owns a few acres and trying to sell is goods on the corner (indeed this guy does not get subsidies).

Those people protesting at the WTO are probably concerned about those lowerclass people who have no say so in how their lives are being tossed around.
