Idk who this person is but it is understandable that a person from a country being exploited and destroyed by imperialist nations to have a negative view of people who are “helping” build social programs for its people but have just as bad, or nearly as bad to the point of it being materially irrelevant, a track record of supporting imperialist policies towards the global south/poor and maybe express that in a somewhat vitriolic way.

And I think it’s kinda of chauvinist to think we should mollycoddle some westerners over the voice of extremely exploited people who are hurt by those policies.

Now if she’s a westerner or whatever my point still stands that we gotta learn about this stuff eventually.

I was once a western chauvinist socdem until a communist called me out on it, I did self-crit over time and now i see where they were coming from.

Yeah so long as Bernie supports drone strikes and votes to confirm CIA ghouls to cabinet positions, American SocDems should never complain about leftists in the global south making fun of them.
