That’s not why the term Global North exists. A historical analysis of modern history shows why Slavs are not included in the Global North. Some one said the west cares about social rights and freedom vs Soviets or Indian people. Both societies were better with many forms of expression including gender and sexuality. This is a good example of history being rewritten for the Global North as the vanguards of social justice and liberal freedom. IE India has been better with trans people and Soviets with gay people. The Trotsky stuff is a big deal in the context of socialist states. Not the Global North. I fail to see the difference of the extent with some victims of COINTELPRO or the rewritten history of figures like Ho Chi, Ernesto Guevara, Cuba (Castros), Allende, Lumumba, Mao, Sankara, Kabil, Bhutto, Tito, and so on.

"The reason we have this terminology is because of the colonization, imperialism, elitism, and racism set forth by the Global North" "historical analysis of modern history shows why Slavs are not included in the Global North." Then please show me this analysis? How do you think the russian empire worked before the revolution? (or after) Or how it became an empire in the first place? "Ernesto Guevara" And how exactly was for example the history rewritten for the worse regarding this person? He is mostly regarded a hero with lots of merchandise to buy everywhere on the west. If his history was rewritten, then by socialists who dreamed of the clean, heroic revolution and closed their eyes to the bloddy, murderous work he did. (Not saying that those who hunted him down were any better) And Castro did not allow his underlings to leave the country at free will. Among other stuff. Or how did the indian empire(s) worked before the britains came? (would you enjoy being born in a low caste?) Or china. Or the Zulu. Or the aztecs, etc. etc. Or read a bit about Haile Selassi. It seems you are making a artificial line and claiming all or most of the evil came from the north. How is that helpful? Making the world more simpler by creating us vs them?
