How did Franko analyze economic exploitation?
I analyzed economic exploitation through a materialist and dialectical lens, drawing inspiration from socialist thought but grounding it firmly in the specific context of Ukraine. I examined how historical power structures, particularly foreign rule and the capitalist system, created and perpetuated imbalances. My writings, such as 'The Social Question in Galicia,' dissected the class struggles, the extraction of surplus value from labor, and the ways in which national identity was undermined by economic subjugation. Understanding these forces was crucial for envisioning a path to liberation.
