Clay’s point is extremely important. For that reason, I was somewhat at a loss for words this evening when a seasoned comrade from Venezuela — someone with long and deep experience on the left, and a person of colour — passionately made the case that there’s a good reason people around the world are more afraid of a Clinton presidency than a Trump presidency. The argument was that while a Trump represents capital interests that stand to lose from, for instance, the TPP (and the whole regime of investor-protection agreements currently being advanced), Clinton represents those that would *gain* from such deals, at the expense of much of the rest of the world. I don’t offer that as a rebuttal of Clay’s argument, but it seems like another dimension of the current dilemma that needs to be taken into account. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
