That's... a lot of fancy words to say "These greedy rich people are trying to take the middle class's money again to make us into slaves".
And that's just inane. Like, yeah, rich people are greedy, yeah, systemic problems exist, yeah, economic inequality is bad and the influence of the super-rich is a problem.
But I don't see how you can go from any of that to "therefore, richer countries shouldn't give aid to poorer countries because that's a trick of the super-rich to make us all into slaves".
If nothing else, helping poor countries worldwide develop reduces the power of the super-rich over society, since it means they have fewer super-poor exploited populations to draw from and need to make more concessions to workers instead of just relocating to some poorer place.
