Many of the most powerful trade union leaders are keenly imperialist. These leaders are still swayed by current capitalist political influences in international matters. Though the partially awakened rank and file has an instinctive notion that imperialism is something which benefits its masters, it does not realise that imperialism is intimately bound up within its own enslavement to the capitalist system. International solidarity is a sentiment which only attains a sturdy growth amongst those who are fully convinced that capitalism has had its day. (Sylvia Pankhurst, India and the Earthly Paradise, Sunshine Publishing House, 1926, Bombay)
