It is, but I just want to point out that using it in the company of anyone who is not already radicalized is dogshit tactics.
To the average western worker, being told by a leftist that "you are part of the labor aristocrasy and your wage is paid off of the backs of poor people in the global south" doesn't really sound any different than a chud saying "poor people today have smartphones, flatscreen tv's and AC, so they're actually better off than royalty 500 years ago".
Even though the former statement is objectively correct and the latter statement is utter nonsense, they are both going to be interpreted as "fuck you, you have no right to complain".
So it's definitely not something we should just randomly bring up while having lunch at work. Save it for the reading circle.
You’re right but if I’m being contentious here I’ll say wages are not even being paid off by the global south but by the lowest class and income people in the country. There’s people far below the wrung of skilled union laborers.

We're on a tiny explicitly communist forum that is the legacy of a moderate sized socialist subreddit which started as a fanclub for a radlib white boy podcast.

Agreed 100%, but I wasn't specifically thinking about skilled union laborers, just western workers in general.

Who the hell here is "not already radicalized"
That's exactly my point though. Did you not read the last line?
