    Both Republican and Democrats are on the political right in America, where is the actual third Left Party?

      Hasn’t America mostly been a pure-bourgeois settler-colonialist society, based on the subjugation and genocide of natives and then slaves?

      Even without that, it has stored many an anti-communist emigre population

      That’s why for every IWW you have, you got 2 Knights of Labor-like and AFL-like organizations that want to keep the bare scraps from their ruling western capitalists while simultaneously dividing the working class and other progressive forces… it’s by design

      Not to mention, the unequal exchange of the Global South… read Jason Hickel if you want to know why historically the West’s labor force aren’t necessarily in solidarity with the Global South/3rd world

      For example,

      Our results indicate that most of the North’s excess consumption (58% of it) is sustained by net appropriation from the global South; without this appropriation, material use in high-income nations would be much closer to the sustainable level.

      As I say to you, there cannot be socialism with anti-imperialism…

      A true post-western left or progressivism must oppose western-dominated neoliberalism, neo-conism (hawkish foreign policy), and cultural reaction of bigotry that seeks to uphold this all… (orientalism included)
