Maoism–Third Worldism is an revisionist and social-chauvinist tendency which erroneously claims that 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. Sub-tendencies of this theory such as Sakaism outright replace class struggle with a fascistic view of racial struggle. Maoism–Third Worldism does little more than needlessly divide members of the working class, omit their struggles, propagate identity opportunism, and demonize individual workers often on the basis of immutable factors such as ethnicity. This tendency represents a reactionary distortion of national liberation, anti-colonial, and anti-imperialist movements. Other revisionist tendencies take influence from Maoism–Third Worldism, most notably Dengism.
