Why not both?
I feel that we as people who need to work for a living should support one another and correctly identify the ownership class as our enemy.
Right, but that does not mean undercutting your fellow workers…
Because Rajesh is just a guy in a shitty place, and he got offered a better job in America. Why shouldn't he take it? He's not a bad guy for accepting a job that's better than he can get where he comes from, his employer is the bad guy for offering him just enough compensation to be better than his home, but not enough to ever actually succeed, instead of offering a living wage to an American.
Because him taking it means he is supporting the ruling class and undermining his fellow worker.
He's not supporting the ruling class, he's just trying to stay alive. Applying entitled American standards to a foreign person trying to climb out of their economic hole is a bad look.
And everybody who tries to get a job is undermining his fellow worker.
What has that fellow worker ever done for him? Solidarity goes both ways.
