    The problem is that reducing such dynamics to class struggle is an over-simplification that is IMHO doing more harm than good.

      It’s a lens of analysis and a very useful and interesting one at that. People who need to sell most of their waking hours to survive have a lot in common, whether they benefit from post-colonial exploitation or not.

        The problem is that this kind of class reductionist analysis is completely blind to the negative and exploitative results of the work of these workers. Painting then as victims of capitalism, when they are the same time also active perpetrators of it is actively detrimental to fighting global capitalism.

          Every kind of analysis has strengths and weaknesses. I don’t disagree with what you’re saying and I was never opposed to your point.
