Saw this comment on the commie side of TikTok. My gut tells me this is ultraleft bs, but perhaps my fellow hexbears can educate me on this discussion which I’m sure is not new.

I don’t see how a poor American on food stamps is responsible, even though a systematic analysis reveals that international superexploitation is a thing.

The American proletariat can and should organize in any case. I don’t see how Americans can build any sort of socialist movement if any organization at all is accused of being hypocritical.

    This kinda bounces on my thoughts on this thread: For most people, the choice isn't between agitating in favour of local unions/left orgs etc vs agitating in favour of the left in the global south. It's usually between frankly pretty tepid support for locals or doing nothing. That's not to say that local unions like the AFL-CIA haven't done tremendous damage to the left in the global south either.
