Isn't Doug's point that once you accept the continuing existence +
legitimacy of capitalism, you get forced to accept the logic of capital and
the 'never-ending cycle of playing worker against worker...'? Isn't he
basically saying that the labor movement that can't imagine any socialist
alternative to capitalism can only tinker with the pace at which 'you will
run the "race to the bottom"'?
