This is why global worker solidarity is so important.
- elforce002 3y agoInteresting. What's that if I may ask?
- edgyquant 3y agoIt’s also unrealistic. Different workers in different nations have different cultures and compete with each other for a scarce supply of buyers.
- SequoiaHope 3y ago> Different workers in different nations have different cultures and compete with each other for a scarce supply of buyers. This is a description of the status quo of capitalist competition, but is not a fact of nature. We can arrange our economies to work in cooperation with one another, rather than in competition. Competition is used specifically to depress all worker wages for the benefit of the ownership class, and we do not have to accept that at face value.
- ummonk 3y agoWhy would workers in the global south feel any solidarity towards workers in the wealthiest country on earth who earn global top 5% wages?
