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 am not and I read everything, even Hinterland, which is anti-AES to a degree, but that's not the point of the book, and it's observations cannot be denied and are well-argued and researched.
