That's absurd and nonsensical, unless you find that "fighting for your class" is a synonym with "directly fighting against the bourgeoisie that oppresses you"... In which case it's only absurd. The fight for your class does not end the moment you've defeated your own national bourgeoisie.
Workers who participate in the growth and improvement of the quality of life in socialist states do fight for the working class. Otherwise we could claim that workers in the Soviet Union, China, Cuba and so on did not contribute for the wellbeing of the proletariat, which is obviously wrong. Fighting for your class does not necessarily have to involve picking up a banner nor a rifle there where the bourgeoisie rules.
Im agree with you. But in too many case people go to live to socialist state and didnt fight any more. Obviously all the workes o Soviet Union is an example for all the working class in the word. We have to take that example and continuos her example in our territory for the liberation of the all class.
Even then, being somewhere else does not mean you cannot fight for the cause of the proletariat back in your home country. Lenin spent a while living in Switzerland and Finland, all while still working on what would finally amount to the October Revolution.
