What solidarity exactly? How do their interests align with mine, If I want America to scale back its production so I can afford to live on this shitty rock will any American accept that offer seriously ask yourself that

What I am saying is I have not found, in any context deviding workers into White Vs. Blue or Professional vs Tradsman is antithetical to building any class cohesion, as it only pushes on an interclass devide. We cannot hope to build a working class movement when we contenue to add divisions.

As for your second point that is over the topic of imperalism, while yes the United States, and many of if not most of the citizens of the US significantly benefit from this imperalism. That should not catagoricaly refuse them the benefit of an attempt to build class solidarity even if it is unlikely. I cannot speak for "All" USians, however I am sure that in the 3rd most populous nation I would be able to find atleast 1 person who is willing to make that deal.

On your comment of "Scale back its production" I do need more specificity, because the United States has been offshoring quite a bit of its production, and has started to cause some domestic friction at the least.

Lastly none of this pertains to the primary point of my previous post, namely being most Americans, who own houses, cannot afford to put up solar panels on their house, regardless of if they wanted to.
