Rather than labor's present campaign, MHL proposes
that we "focus our attention on US capital and the
logic of international capitalism." But that's not
politics; it's a seminar. Or a book. Getting up
in front of a crowd and saying, "I denounce
capitalism" is not politics. It's a potential
component of politics, but one that lacks any
referents in current events or practice.

CB: Howabout proposing a comprehensive anti-NAFTA/GATT, etc., in U.S. law and treaties
which puts strict curbs and controls on the rights and powers of U.S. based
corporations to move capital ? Just as a maximum program, ultimate target. Build
current demands working toward that. Declare a break with all previous approaches
which have, overall, failed.
And then start lobbying for it, electing candidates based on it.
It might require an Amendment to the Constitution. But I already have one drafted that
is almost on point. It pretty much comes under the Labor Party proposal for an
amendment for right to jobworkliivng decently.
