How the Abandonment of Democracy and Internationalism Has Decimated the Socialist Movement
This paper looks not at workers’ struggles, which had their ups and downs over the last two hundred years, but specifically at the revolutionary socialist movement, which aims to eliminate capitalism.

It identifies three bifurcation points in this parti…

The domestic-labour debate of the 1970s was a useful attempt to fill this gap, but left many issues unresol…

This appears to be due to elements of protectionism and nationalism in positions on both sides. Arguments against a workers' rights clause can be classified into those opposing (1) globalisation, (2) the WTO, (3) any linkage between workers' rights and trade, and (4) the pr…
