      imo, there are actually-existing internationalist progressives and nationalistic socialists, and vice-versa -- and both socialism and liberalism (/progressivism), taken to their logical endpoints, require the workers of the world to unite

      How does liberalism, taken to its logical endpoint, require the workers of the world to unite?

      you cannot maximize the enjoyment of individual liberty, so long as some individuals exercise no meaningful control over the means of their own subsistence. And the only way to ensure all individuals can exercise such control is through transnational worker solidarity.

      This isn't a sophistic gotcha either; the idea that individual liberty requires economic autonomy is deeply rooted in certain strains of the British/American liberal republican tradition. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/01/ocasio-cortez-aocs-billionaires-taxes-hannity-american-democracy.html …pic.twitter.com/zkvOxhAc8c

      You don't have to go to the British: it is a central theme in Thomas Jefferson's writings.

      Interesting though that Harrington was a contemporary of Locke.

      From the classical liberals (Hobbes, Locke) forward, there are distinct liberal (natural rights) and republican (communitarian) traditions in Western political thought. Economic inequality was a preeminent theme in the republican tradition. 1/

      There is solid research that situates the development of the labor movement (and associated theories of cooperative commonwealth, socialism, etc.) out of the republican tradition.

      I'm familiar with Alex Gourevitch's work on that front. Any other scholars you'd recommend?

          David Montgomery is good, especially Citizen Worker. Salvatore's bio of Debs, subtitled Citizen and Socialist is in this vein. Also Josiah Bartlett-Lambert, “If the Workers Took A Notion”: The Right to Strike and American Political Development.
