Not at all. You're as American as I am, but even if you weren't, it wouldn't matter a bit. And I don't consider patriotism a virtue, so that question is irrelevant. > what is *your* unit of analytical concern: US workers, non ruling >class Americans, the global worker? From whose perspective do you >see things? The global working class. I do notice, however, that sometimes non-working class leftists in the First World don't consider the American worker as part of it. Kind of like Engels dismissing the English w.c. as paid stooges of imperialism. Doug
