About me

Introduction Maoism-Third Worldism is a shorter name for Marxism-Leninism-Maoism-Third Worldism. Maoism-Third Worldism (M3W) describes what is theorized as the fourth stage in the evolution of Marxist theory. There has not been an official title, but Maoism-Third Worldism is becoming the most excepted term for this stage. The difficulty arises out of the vague beginnings of the ideology. As Mao Zedong fell to revisionism, just as Stalin had, Lin Biao gave a few ideas as to how the next stage could be formulated. He, unfortunately, died before any real concrete theory could be put forward. The most important work, representing a kind of foundation is “Long Live the Victory of People’s War”. In it, he outlined a general stance of the First versus the Third World. Since then a group called the Maoist International Movement and several independent authors have contributed ideas.
