ANTICONQUISTA

ANTICONQUISTA political study discussion about Third Worldism held on Sunday, April 21, 2019.

Third Worldism argues that under the current capitalist-imperialist system, labor and resources are extracted from poor and underdeveloped periphery states to wealthy and industrialized core states. This enriches mainly white people in the core First World states at the expense of people of color in the peripheral Third World states, especially workers and peasants.

Third Worldism prioritizes impoverished workers and peasants from the Global South within the global socialist movement. They're the majority of the world's 7.53 billion people and they're based in Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and the internal colonized nations of First World settler states. And they're also mainly women.
