Good for you. All of the trots I met were highly chauvinistic, even racist in some instance, pseudo-intellectuals who just refused to acknowledge that the workers of the Imperial core enjoy the superprofits generated by the workers of the Global South. They simply didn’t believe in the theory if Unequal Exchange under imperialism.
Oppression in the global south decreases the wages and employability of workers in the imperial core. I’ve definitely observed some chauvinism in the literature they propagate, however I am of the opinion, that is something they need to work on. Unequal exchange hurts all workers, while to unimaginable lesser extent those in the imperial core, they are still harmed by it. Focusing on the harm unequal exchange brings to workers of the imperial core, can allow them to become powerful allies.
Yeah, they need to understand that is chauvinist. They need to start calling out their thought leaders who do that or they will become what they fear the most.

That would require them to stop screaming ‘Stalinist’ at everyone who points out this unequal exchange.
