"The Global South’s workforce provides a staggering 90% of the labor to power the world economy, yet gets only 21% of global income."
The conclusion you could get from this is that the Western working class "earns too much" or, worse, that it's depending on the exploitation of the third world for its livelihood. This is what Maoists Third-Worldists say.
A proper class analysis would point to the vast capital investment funds and, crucially, this international picking order being a result of the fundamental mechanism in capitalism where workers work for a wage, but get none of the surplus labour.
The solution is to dissolve the wage labour system.
