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?

The AFL-CIO have had two leaders so far to the left, one of which was enthusiastic about Evo Morales and even supported him during the coup.

Not saying much because it's the AFL-CIO, but it speaks to a growing radicalization within its ranks.
