  • I'm perfectly fine with acknowledging that to some degree workers in the first world do benefit from the table scraps of imperialism, but the bourgeoisie of the 3rd world has a genuine seat at the table. That's the major difference.

    The proletariat in America has more in common with the proletariat in the poor countries than either has in common with the bourgeoisie of their own country. This is what being a true socialist internationalist means. The argument that American workers benefit from imperialism and therefore they are inherently opposed to anti-imperialism only suggests it's in their interests to be pro imperialism and nationalism, which does no one any favors.





  • I don't like how that arc culminated with "living in better conditions made you live your life differently and with more dignity, so let's put you back into poverty so you can be wholesome and nice again, because being poor is a noble and pure condition and makes one a better person." So annoying.
