Maoism-Third Worldism

Post Reply New Topic

Maoism-Third Worldism is a heterodox Maoist tendency. The focus is on the Third World aka the Global South as the primary staging area for communist activity. We are small a but active tendency. Our basic point is that the First World, the Global North, the West, or whatever one chooses to call it lacks (in my view, will always lack) revolutionary potential. Therefore, we need to look to the Third World for communist activity. I suspect that, given the dominance of the First World, the Third World will be hampered in its activities until the First World is completely out of the picture. However, that is only my personal opinion. Communism has thus far been dominated by Western perspectives. We aim to change that.

I am a part of a small invitation-only group (for obvious reasons) which is working to increase the popularity of Maoism-Third Worldism. There are just a few of us. FYI, two of us have ASD, but i doubt that has any real significance.

Gosh!
Where have you, Nominalist, been?

Havent seen you here on WP in a long time.

Welcome back.

Thank you very much, my friend. The Internet is big, and I have been traveling all over it.

You are just a year older than me. Time flies, doesn't it?

Yes it does.

Maoism is pretty much extinct in Mao's own country:China.

And for a number of reasons seems irrelevent to today's world.

I havent even heard the word nor seen it in print in a LONG time.

In the Seventies it seemed like the whole brown skinned world was on the verge of rising up and then pouncing upon Europe and North America. But not today. Now the third world isnt even a distinct thing anymore because so many nations are industrializing.

Maoism is a category of tendencies, not a tendency itself. Maoism-Third Worldism has almost nothing in common with what most people, anywhere in the world, think of as Maosim.
