Michael, I've been away, and too busy to track this thread so my
apologies for posing a perhaps off-track query.
If (to put it crudely) Domhoff, Navarro and the like are right that
the Republican Party is the preferred political home of relatively
labour-intensive capitalists (and hence hostile to good labour law)
and if the Democratic Party is the preferred home of financial,
commercial and property capital, and if the latter are the most avid
exponents of neoliberalism, then why are you and Nathan willing to
grant credit around a meagre legislative agenda when it is
Clinton-Gore neoliberalism and the accumulation process it
supports that poses such a profound threat to worker interests
(across the world)?
