Where does this whole notion that this kind of analysis, that is similar to world's systems theory, is actually not marxist come from? Saw some people on hexbear say the same thing. There are plenty of Marxist ways to analyse the contradictions between the global north and south. The school of thought known as global historical materialism exists, and evidently is based on Marxism, with concepts such as the law of worldwide value. Samir Amin basically dedicated his whole life to studying this from a Marxist point of view. You can disagree with his analysis, but it is still clearly based off of Marx.
When you actually start quoting Samir Amin to these people, they lose their goddamned minds.
I had someone telling me he was a Nazbol or "apologist for feudalism" (????) because he was exploring the differences between European feudalism and other tributary modes of production
I guess we're just supposed to post the "improve society somewhat" comic or the Monty Python bit where they find a commune of peasants living in pure filth
