Which world is a plutocracy?
We're that one in practice.
Also, language evolves rapidly, terms change meanings over time often.
Try getting 100 random people or even college graduates and try to get agreement on the modern meaning and usage of socialism.
Words and terms evolve, even dictionaries make regular changes to react to already in use changes over time.
I think the more modern usage is 1st world= developed socioeconomic infrastructure 2nd world = developing nation 3rd world = impoverished/underdeveloped nation.
Definitely the capitalist and colonizing “first world” countries, no question. Their wealthy even control Global South countries to a large extent.
If you meant Global North and Global South, just say it. But it’s completely ludicrous to suggest the US is a Global South country, so I suspect you didn’t mean that.
