Labor migration is the modern form of imperialism by the rich countries in North American and Western Europe.
The Global South sends far more workers abroad than do rich countries, yet they receive only a fraction of all global remittances – unequal exchange on a global scale.

The problem is that almost leftists, especially intellectuals, are purists. But the question is whether a commitment to socialism is their reason for turning to imperialism or a support for their comfortable liberal bourgeois lives. There is only one answer and it is the latter.
