They’re not wrong?? People shouldn’t be conflating living standards with “labor aristocracy”. American’s artificially inflated living standards can be traced to the extraction of resources from the global south due to imperialism but the working class is still oppressed and worse off than the rest of the developed world. Wages are stagnant, unions have steadily been crushed, and there’s no safety net.

While there’s little revolutionary potential at the center of global capitalism. Organizing labor to divert capital from corporations, defunding the military industrial capital will weaken American hegemony while improving American’s lives. We’re already seeing our position decline, just without massive organizing.
