Which means that no country should have the right to challenge the imperialist centralisation of capital and the world division of labor that suits the interest of imperialist capital. If the AFL-CIO wants to break down trade barriers indiscriminately, it is only fighting to entrench the world div of labor as it has evolved. It is clearly a social imperialist force unwilling and unready to focus its struggle against its own ruling class. I would not make too much of its mild Keynesian challenge to deflationary IMF policy; Jude Wannisiki (sp?) probably would join that chorus.
