What are the essential works to understand third-worldism? I mean REAL theory, not Jason Unruhe. Many thanks in advance!
Third-Worldism literature
Levi Myers
Noah Walker
Divided World - Zak Cope
Settlers
For method, read Heidegger, Althusser, and Edward Said, maybe also learn what Levinas means by the Other.
Oliver Parker
Kind of odd since I saw an user who claimed to be LLCO say that Settlers was pseudo third worldism and Jason Unruhe was the real deal.
Justin Howard
Did they give a reason?

Fuck off this isn't /lit/.
Asher Walker
Samir Amin: The World of Worldwide Value
That's postcolonial theory, not TWism.
Nolan Jackson
Sakai isn't postcolonial theory. He's not PoMo.
Jack Collins
Yeah Sakai is just a straight up ethno nationalist, or supporter of ethno nationalism among "black"/"brown" people more accurately(since I doubt he supports Japanese nationalism)
Nicholas Brown
Sakaism and critical theory in general is fundamentally ultra first-worldist, liberal garbage. You seriously couldn't get any further from third worldist pol econ if you tried.
"Third Worldism" is a theory rooted in economic criticism. Sakaism, at its core, is "all brown/black people = proletarians, all white people = evil" via some sort of spooky metaphysical magic innate in our melanin.
The vast majority of the TWist movement 100% disown Sakaism and critical theory. Aside from the entire FWist left and the dermocratic party who are shilling that shit right now, the only "twist" group which buys into that steaming social-imperialist, racialist garbage are the "RAIM" shutins, who are 9 or 10 at most, and who are literally all upper middle class heterosexual white dudes with extreme white guilt, who are too embarrassed by their pasty white skin to even leave their bedrooms. People seem to believe they are lot bigger than they really are because these dweebs literally spend all day maintaining sock FB accounts and talking about how much they hate white people, men and heterosexuals (literally themselves) on Tumblr.
As critical as I am of LLCO (not a fan of their FW section at all) African leaders of LL are doing amazing shit in West Africa, organizing rural workers/farmers, religious people, etc. If you want to see real world TWism, look there.
