"A Caricature of Marxism and Imperialist Economism"

"Economic statistics show that here a larger percentage of the workers
become 'straw bosses' than is the case in the oppressed nations,
a larger percentage rise to the labour aristocracy.  That is a fact.
To a certain degree the workers of the oppressor nations are partners
of their own bourgeoisie in plundering the workers (and the mass of the
population) of the oppressed nations.  (2) Politically, the difference
is that, compared with the workers of the oppressed nations, they
occupy a privileged position in many spheres of political life.  (3)
Ideologically, the difference is that they are taught, at school and in
life, disdain and contempt for the workers of the oppressed nations."
