Imperialism in the 21st Century, Smith vs Harvey, commodity chains, etc...

cross-posted from: https://hexbear.net/post/4453394

My leftist reading group at uni is reading Imperialism in the 21st Century by John Smith. Is my diagram that i quickly drew up a good supplement for it? Also I know in other spaces shit flinging occurs about value created through labor in the west being "more productive," so more value is created than "unproductive third world labor" vs the inverse of that position; the length of the values in the diagram is arbitrary and constrained for space reasons, not because i think one way or another; but feel free to argue ig. I mean, has anyone read the polemics of Harvey and Smith? They are sassy as fuck and hilarious. Disappointing though to see Harvey to take such a vague and stance on modern imperialism, as well as the dissavowment of China by Smith because of alleged "Stalinism" (lol). I'll link the first video and four polemics they directed at eachother: ["Imperialism: Is it still a relevant concept?"-Harvey](https://youtu.be/nRv

  • Could you elaborate on the PCUSA's

  • (verb) to ally: combine or unite with (another) for mutual benefit.

    "temporary ally" and "left unity" are obviously not synonymous, but it would be disingenuous to ignore any overlap

  • second paragraph

    To carry on a war for the overthrow of the international bourgeoisie [...] and to renounce in advance any change of tack, [...], or any conciliation or compromise with possible allies (even if they are temporary, unstable, vacillating or conditional allies)β€”is that not ridiculous in the extreme?

    The Black Panther Party in America, for example, had many anarchist comrades within it, a "rainbow coalition," and so on... For COINTELPRO, however, it is known that Feds have used ultra-left newspapers and anti-AES-focused stories in anarchist papers for psy-ops. Feds mainly targeted the leaders and most outspoken members of the Black Panthers (mostly ML or ML oriented), and many major past members that remain alive are anarchists. Take that as you will.

    also, I have an account on both Lemmygrad and Hexbear. All this infighting is making me
