Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

The relationships of the US and the similar nations, of the imperial core, with marginalized nations, of the imperial periphery, are structured for economic exploitation, under practices of neocolonial hegemony.

Such relationships of labor exploition produce a massive transfer of net wealth from the periphery to the core.

If workers in poor nations were paid as much as businesses realize from selling the products of their labor, much or all of the food donations would be unnecessary.

As it stands, such aid is only an impartial restitution for the wealth that is transferred away from workers by the sales of the products they create through their labor.
