Its really driving me nuts today. I understand the rage about the settlers around the world doing genocide and I froth at the mouth regularly but shitting on workers of the US, germany or any other state is just chauvinism in a different outfit.

The immigrant in germany who makes rap music does not have no culture, tupac who was an american communist did not have no culture, these people are human same as us and it is shocking to me that this huge contradiction is allowed to go unaddressed on a marxist-leninist instance.

You can acknowledge the revolutionary potential of workers while also understanding that workers in the imperial core benefit from imperialism and the exploitation of the global south. The culture of the imperial core reflects this material interest and ideologically reinforces liberalism and imperialism. This is not a moral condemnation of individual workers. I think you could benefit from reading this:
