Hey, Max, wait a minute. You mean you can't be part of this evolving movement - I like to think of myself as a member - and be critical of it too? What the hell is Pat Buchanan doing at a labor rally? By definition, anywhere he is isn't a sideshow - he's a major political figure. You don't invite him to speak without making a statement by his presence. Becker's rhetoric is hideous too. You can criticize the Chinese regime without sounding like a xenophobe. The history of American economic nationalism is deeply wrapped up with Yellow Perilism, and it does no good to deny that. Workers of the world unite, man.
