Honestly IMO those explanations don't do the issue full justice (or even present half of the picture). Settler-states (like most of the Anglosphere, or Isntreal) have a genuine "labor aristocracy-" one which has always fought to maintain its privileges, through genocidal land grabs, racial exclusion acts and segregation.
Labor aristocracy is a common problem among the working class in WEIRD countries, albeit not insurmountable. My argument wasn’t that labor aristocracy isn’t real. I’m just saying that rather than being a thing the working class adopts entirely independently out of their own agency, it’s something that bourgeois democracy pressures the working class into as an acceptable expression of working class politics in the imperial core.
Exactly. There is a reason the KOL was crushed and the AFL was begrudgingly accepted as a recurring enemy. Though the KOL also has a huge influence of settlerism and racial components, waffling on matters like female workers, and integrated unions.
