"Maoism"–Third Worldism is a tendency which claims that the majority of the working class in imperialist countries is "bought off" by its bourgeoisie from super-profits deprived from imperialism and therefore no longer holds revolutionary potential and are therefore Labor Aristocrats. Sub-tendencies of this theory such as "Sakaism"/"Settlerism" believe that Settler Colonialism is a specific Mode of Production which emerges when a settler colony is established, this Mode of Production is defined by a Non-Proletarian Working class which is parasitically exploiting the oppressed nations in the country, Sakai did believe that White People could work together with oppressed nations in a revolution.[1] Although as a side note, "Sakaists" don't have to believe in Third Worldism to believe in Sakai's beliefs, and vice-versa.
Criticism
Third Worldism has been criticized and contested by many Marxists, Maoists, Hoxhaists etc... for "needlessly dividing members of the working class, omitting their struggles, and propagating identity opportunism." [2]
