class structure in the periphery isn't the same as in the imperial core, that much should be obvious to anyone familiar with the concept of imperialism/who's familiar with lenin's works or even some more recent books like monopoly capital by sweezy
is it then reasonable to treat books like catherine liu's book on PMC as anything more than a fun fact on how fruits of labour captured by MNCs via FDI get distributed in the imperial core with no relevance to your country's situation at large?
I ask because I got into an argument with someone over a podcast that talked about this, I essentially said that it is futile to discuss it in the periphery and it was somehow a "controversial" opinion to have
I dont want to post any random images so I attach a drawing I did

False
>>2945104>class structure in the periphery isn't the same as in the imperial core, that much should be obvious to anyone familiar with the concept of imperialism/who's familiar with lenin's worksNo. Where's your peasants?
How are you claiming they're different? That the PMC doesn't exist as a distinct polity in the periphery? I think that's self-evident, southern tertiary educated labor is highly exploitative otherwise nobody in Indian would want a H-1B to do the same soulless office job.
>>2945136Peasantry is a dated concept, the reality today is
<Peripheral nation classes>Exploited proletariat>Comprador proto-bourgeoisie (also proletarian)
<Imperial core classes>Bourgeoisie>Imperialist labor aristocracy (not proletarian) True. Leftychuds need to stop coping that just because their westoid shitholes where everyone dreams of being a billionaire don't want communism, doesn't mean that outside of that the same class relations exist. The third world is much closer to communism with their reactionary class structures than the west with their progressive "classless" alternatives.
>>2945323>Comprador proto-bourgeoisieEither they own MoP or they don't.
>>2945462>reactionary class structures>progressive "classless" alternativeswords words
>>2945481Truth hurts, I know.
>>2945490u cant be serious, u claim that the russians/chinese would be better off if imperialists got their way and turned both into neocolonies?
>>2945323Exactly, Sundar Pichai and Elon Musk are generically proletarian contrary to westoid factory workers
>>2945537>Elon MuskI wasn't aware that going around paying women to bear children for you was proletarian
>>2945517Edgy socdem lmao
>>2945462genuinely baffled as to why you are attracted to marxism
>>2945584Because i used to be a maga qtard but then i started thinking about economics and I discovered socially necessary labor time on my own before discovering marx. I dont agree with him on everything, but when he is right im like
>wow this chud thinks like I do >>2945575I am a Dengist Endokommuna enjoyer.
>>2945607endokomuna was so dogshit it provoked a workers' revolution but for liberalism
>>2945608If true, it's because the plebs are retarded and don't know what is in their interests. Poland is a literal EU colony so I gues lolberts are right, if plebs want to be slaves, let them. They deserve it.
