Friends, I want to second Tom's remarks on this entire globalization debate. We live in specific countries and we have little choice to to act within them. Millions of workers are unorganized and need to be organized. Should we not even try to organize them because capital is now global and will inevitably defeat them by moving, etc.? This seems a recipe for further disaster. Naturally we shuld do whatever we can to attack capital globally, but the argument that acting nationally is somehow bad politics is not tenable in my view.
