It was all about Marxism: productive vs unproductive labour, unequal exchange, unequal development, dependency theory, ecological debt. My questions were purely theoretical though, any excitement for revolutionary change came from DeepSeek, which is what I found so funny.

I told it it doesn’t mince its words because when asked about unequal exchange and labour aristocracy in the Global North, it outright stated that “Northern workers are bought off by imperialist plunder” (emphasis in original), and in my experience ChatGPT would never put it so bluntly.
