Hungarian farmers can’t duck EU constraints

The rich and fertile lands of Hungary have long made it an enviable source for food production.
America isn't getting richer from globalization. We've lost industry and jobs over the past 20 years, and now markets since the financial crisis hit. Wages have been stagnant for decades, unless you are looking at Wall Street wheeler-dealers or bank presidents. The people in America who get rich are the globalists who happen to be here, not necessarily the average citizen. The middle class is shrinking fast in this country. It is ironic that we formed and sold the IMF, World Bank, and WTO, when all that globalization is going to kill us. The unions are already as good as dead.
The same situation is in Croatia and Serbia - western powers force you to accept EU agenda and to peg your own currency to Euro.And you have to overestimate your own local currency thus encouraging importing of everything including the products we can produce ourselves (food) from the West. The very first thing western bakers grabbed here in Croatia (and elsewhere in eastern Europe) are BANKS. Once state owned banks in socialism which supported local industry and agriculture now in the hands of the new western owners have been encouraging imports of western products and consumption of everything from the West. Results? Results in Croatia are the same as the results in Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Latvia, Greece... and throughout eastern Europe - countries are collapsing, external debts are huuuuge, domestic industrial and agriculture production has been virtually destroyed. Farmers are being destroyed and cannot pay the credits for machinery and land since they do not have even local market due huuuge imports of food from western Europe. And these loans are given in euros by the western banks, but now our local currency is under heavy pressure due to huuuge external debt thus euro credits will soon become impossible to pay. And now farmers are losing land and western bakers are taking our farms, our industries (what is left of it)... just like western bankers are taking our houses and apartments. If your country does not support this western agenda then they find an excuse to bomb you (just like they bombed Serbia in 1999 using a false pretext of protecting ethnic minorities) and install a puppet government which is complacent. This is hitlerism! The only way to liberate ourselves will be by bloody revolutions!
Globalization will destroy many people's lives and benefit greatly the megacorporations and politicians of the world institutions. Funny most of them are based in America. IMF, World Bank, WTO, and many others bring out real problems for the real people like this farmer. The news almost never covers their suffering and only talks about some economic value that comes, yet we never see this value, but watch as each nations top 10% get richer and richer.
