I have often heard ultra-lefts describe Marxists who oppose settler-colonialism and uphold AES as being “Third Worldists”.

Looking at what people like Jason Unruhe have to say about the topic, Third Worldism does not seem entirely baseless (e.g. the proletariat in the imperial core more often being labor aristocrats).

So, what are our thoughts on Third Worldism?

    I’ve heard mixed things, good and bad, and that’s why I (partly) intend to read it, but keep in mind that Monthly Review, while good, isn’t the only authority on Marxism-Leninism.

    I will give you my thoughts and report back on the book; at the very least, Perry Anderson has been quite critical of Western Marxism.
