Kind of. There's that, and also that imperialist countries have exported their greatest abuse to the periphery.

They have, but that's by virtue of the working conditions getting nuked from orbit during the industrial revolution. Testimony from pre-industrial times show that we're working ourselves to the bone in comparison (I'll take that instead of, you know, literal medieval living conditions, but still)
