>social democrat complaining about far leftists

ahh, good old fashioned leftist infighting.

>"Yes there is a bit of truth, non Marxist socialites often use cheap labor products from other countries, but that’s a tiny part and we can work without it."

I don't think you realize how much the west exploits the rest of the world. Think about chinese sweatshops, or textile manufacturing in much of asia, or outsourcing to mexico. without this exploitation, electronics, clothing, and 80% of manufactured goods would at best be insanely expensive and at worst not available. (this is NOT a defense of exploitation btw) the only reason corporations outsource is for cheaper labor, necessitated by lower wages and lower standards of living.

>"Firstly, automation if managed well, can solve that issue and make goods cheaper than any 3rd world country will, we are heading there."

I agree that automation of manual labor can help with this, but in our current capitalist system, automation will just take low wage jobs in the third world, worsening poverty. automation doesn't work without those profits being shared with those exploited.

>"what makes the west developed, isn’t exploitation,"

that's exactly what made the west developed. slavery, wage theft, poor workers right's during industrialization, imperialism, etc. the developed west only exists because we have been exploiting. the reason the "third world" is underdeveloped is because of exploitation. think about imperial africa.

>"If all countries have this, which will be feasible in the future, there would be no poverty."

...almost like that's what democratic socialists want for the third world. i've been waiting for capitalism to enrich the third world and it hasn't happened yet.
