Technically yes, but he talks about building wealth evenly through social programs in his own country, which improves people’s lives and goes against historical austerity imposed on the global south, which could facilitate decoupling from western hegemony. This makes him theoretically better than a socdem in the west, who is limited to making wealth more evenly distributed, but ultimately still derives that power from plundering the global south. Being better just because of your geopolitical conditions is not guaranteed, however, as we have seen in recent years in Chile and Peru.
Yeah, there are global South allies who are technically libs (eg. Ta Nehisi Coates)
and
libs who definitely know they depend on the hegemonic western capitalist base, with its unequal ‘exchange’ and imposed IMF austerity, dollar rule, and interest rates…
