1. I think we all agree that, although white supremacy does in fact hurt workers of all races, white workers do benefit from it in some regards even while all workers are hurt by it.

2. It's also not controversial to point out that, under white supremacy, white workers are afforded a slightly better position relative to Black workers at the expense of the latter, even though both would be better off with the destruction of white supremacy.

3. It should not be controversial to apply this same logic to the relationship between first world and third world workers in today's imperialist-dominated world.

4. Imperialism hurts workers all throughout the world, even in the first, but we cannot deny that first world workers have a relatively higher standard of living because they're in the first world, and that the worst forms of hyperexploitation are relegated to the third.

5. This isn't oppression olympics. This is just looking at the facts.

6. You're not going to build international solidarity if you ignore these realities, just like you won't build worker solidarity across racial lines if you pretend Black workers don't experience an additional layer of racial oppression on top of class oppression.
