clogic-192738	Meyerson, Gregory	Marxism, Psychoanalysis, and Labor Competition	2020	28	.pdf	application/pdf	13772	534	47	As Alexander Saxton summarizes the exclusion arguments made at an 1893 AFL convention, the Chinese brought with them 'nothing but filth, vice and disease' and that 'all efforts to elevate them to a higher standard have proved futile,' that were it known to what degree Chinese cheap labor had degraded white labor the American people in their just and righteous anger would sweep them from the face of the earth. What I wish to argue is that these ideological and organizational patterns shaping the terrain upon which the Chinese issue was fought out, however complex, were shaped primarily by the planter-class Democrats in their interest, and there were real serious limitations as to the degree to which these patterns could in anything but the very short run be reappropriated or resignified to benefit white labor against capital.	cache/clogic-192738.pdf	txt/clogic-192738.txt
