Ok.  The defining line between left and right is xenophobia/racism, 
internationalism/nationalism.  So then, the AFL was a right-wing organization 
late into the 20th Century 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_policies_of_American_labor_unions)?   
And the Libertarian Party, which favors unrestricted immigration, is left-wing 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian_perspectives_on_immigration)?  And 
does that mean that a Marxist would have more ideological affinity with the 
Libertarian Party than the AFL?
