    No, this is doomerism and third worldism. There is no such thing as “the west”, rather, there is a group of nations that have been forcibly annexed into the american empire either by force, bribery or both. The comprador bourgeousie of those countries reap the benefits and the workers suffer the consquences. Sure, during the Marshall Plan western workers did benefit from imperialism, but thats not the case anymore. Workers in Spain, Greece and the USA are all going through tremendous hardship with the economic crisis now, just as third world workers are. It is our job as communists to educate the masses and create class consciousness, the opportunity is there now, we must only do it. If we dont, the far right will do it instead, they will tell the masses thay their suffering is because of “jewish communist globalists” and that the solution is “exterminating all immigrants”. Now more than ever, workers in the first and third world have a common interest, now is the time to organize the masses! Its not “the west” that we must save, its THE PEOPLE of “the west” that we must save. By saving them, we save everybody. By dooming them, we doom everybody. Only global worker solidarity will lead the revolution, third worldism is ultra left defeatism. Dont let doomerism defeat you.

        Highly recommend you read about the Congress for Cultural Freedom, a CIA organization set up in 1950 to promote antisoviet “leftism”. Trotskyism, democratic socialism, malthusianism, new religious movement leftism and other ideologies were promoted by the CIA to crush the western left. I highly doubt they arent doing the same nowadays.

      Question. Is the third world got it AS GOOD as the troubled mid to low income workers in the west OR is western workers suffering AS BAD as we understand third world workers endure?

      As I understand it; broke Americans are FUCKING GREAT compared to overexploutes global south workers.

        Third world workers obviously have it worse than first world workers. However this is temporary, once the third world breaks free of the shackles of imperialism, unequal value exchange will disappear and thus the western bourgeoisie will have no choice but to reindustrialize the first world and extract more surplus value from first world workers. This will greaty worsen their living conditions, bringing to an end this difference in living standards and setting the stage for revolution in the west. This is slowly beginning to happen, Mali and the Central African Republic have already broken out of french imperialism and joined the antiimperialist bloc (thanks to help from Russia and China), Burkina Faso may follow soon. Slowly but surely its happening, and we must be ready for when the opportunity for revolution arrives to the west.
