Why not both? The exploitation needs them being underdeveloped and incidentally also causes it as well.

That's basically the thesis, Yellow Parenti should be mandatory education.

Parenti awareness is at an all time low sadly. Blackcoats and Reds is a great book. This is the famous "yellow" speech, the shitty quality is the meme and maybe contributed to it's recognition, but the audio issues are fixed a couple minutes in and the points he's making are clear.
