Editing Maoism–Third Worldism (section)

== History ==
The idea of Third Worldism in Marxism has its origins in the Tatar communist and Bolshevik [[File:Natcom.png]] Mirsaid Sultan-Galiev, who devised a Colonial International, independent of the [[File:ML.png]] Comintern that would defend the anti-colonial struggle of countries in Africa, Asia and America.

The concept would be taken up by [[File:Guevara.png]] Che Guevara in his writing, ''Message to the Tricontinental'', of 1967, where he criticized the role of the [[File:Cball-US.png]] United States in Asia (giving Vietnam and China as examples), Africa (with the Congo, Mozambique and Angola), Middle East and America (citing Cuba and talking about the guerrillas in Venezuela, Guatemala, Colombia, Bolivia and Brazil).

In a 1965 speech, ''Long Live the Victory of People's War!'', the Chinese Maoist [[File:Lin_Biao.png]] Lin Biao mentions Asia, Africa and Latin America as places where the revolutionary movement has grown and where the world revolution depends and mentions that socialist countries must support their fight.

The MTW's best-known (and somewhat infamous) writing is ''Settlers: The Mythology of the White Proletariat'', written by the Japanese-American Maoist [[File:MLM.png]] J. Sakai, which argues that the white working class is petty-bourgeois and reformist, and that they are the colonized (black and indigenous) those who are the true American proletariat.
