idea, but we don't even have to delve into the
writings of Trotsky (who made it crystal clear
that socialism in one country cannot work! ) to
learn that socialism can never be national. As far
back in 1848 in the Communist Manifesto Marx and
Engels closed with the phrase "workers of the
world UNITE" not "workers of Germany UNITE!" or
"Workers of India UNITE!" . It is impossible for
