This is an insanely modern take on "pro-labor" movements, especially in the US. Traditionally, pro-labor has been 100% focused on local labor. If you told your average union member that being "pro-labor" meant closing their factories and offshoring their jobs they'd laugh (or more likely, spit) in your face.

I was referring more to Marxist / classic Socialism. Those movements. I agree that contemporary labor unions in the US are largely not adherents to the communist “workers of the world” ideology.
