Just to add a few things, we all have to be "patriotic" for the simple reason that the people we need on the same team are from our own country and communities, with our own unique histories...Internationalism starts at home and all that. Our Socialism will be uniquely American. Our Anarchism will be uniquely American, ect... --- Sent from UnionMail Service [http://mail.union.org.za]
