I do generally think that the Maoist Third Worldist position, that Revolution in the Imperial core is impossible, and that imperial core workers constitute an imperial bourgeoisie unto themselves, is wrong.
It gives whitey in the global north an excuse to not do anything, and I think it applies a kind of static, metaphysical quality to the imperial core that is undialectical.
That said, swinging the other way, and wholesale rejecting the concept of a labor aristocracy, imperial super profits, and unequal exchange, is....fucking stupid.
Workers in the global north do, in fact, benefit from imperialism, and those benefits have served to buy their loyalty. Acknowledging that fact doesn't preclude us from international solidarity, nor does it mean that organizing the working class in the global north is impossible.
We literally had AFL-CIO training workers to stage coups in Latin American countries and these fuckass trots go around rejecting the existence of Labor Aristocracy.
There is serious criticism of unequal exchange theory from a Marxian economics standpoint, see Paul Cockshott's "the so-called Unequal Exchange" and "Once more on Unequal Exchange".
Whatever these two in the video are doing is not that, and it's laughable and should be discarded.
