Mexican trucks

[Max Sawicky]

On reconciling different working class interests,
sure we should look for ways to create such
solidarity.  I don't have any great ideas in
my pocket, but a Mexican counterpart to the
IBT, in alliance with the IBT, is a obvious goal.

On the latter, I would disagree that opposition
to Mexican trucks reflects U.S. corporate
interests.  Capital is anti-protectionist,
for the most part.  In this case, U.S.
'nationalism' is founded on response to
labor and to popular concerns.

CB: . . .  But I can't help thinking that there is another critical goal of
any and all labor movements - proletarian internationalism - which  impinges
this situation too. I don't have a good solution for the conflict between
the two principles here, but don't we have to strive for a plan that
addresses both of these labor concerns ? Don't we have to be concerned about
bending the stick to the nationalist side , especially since the U.S.is a
big power nation relative to Mexico  ( see thread on nationalism /
internationalism )
