Of course there are differences, but I don't see the *significant* difference implied by a position that replaces a traditional committment to internationalism with a position where nationalist measures are now seen as central to protecting working class interests (which I understand to be your opinion). What do you see as the main difference? Is it not that in the golden age Capital could afford some concessions whereas since about the mid 1970s labour productivity growth and real profitability have been stagnant, and so Capital has had to become more aggressive ("brutal", as Bill R. put it)?
