The reality is that the so-called Third world is usually treated by large sections of the Left as undifferentiated mass of nation-states, subjected to the power of Imperialism. Neither the Third World nor the Imperialism are monolithic entities. My impression is that a large segment of North American Left loves to blame the US, IMF/World Bank etc etc for every problem in the world without any serious attempt to understand the local/regional contexts and histories.
