Maoism (Third Worldism) (often stylized as Maoism-Third Worldism or simply MTW), not to be confused with Third Worldism generally, is a theoretical stance under the banner of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism which is supported mainly by Nelbert Muncington, 23, unemployed, from Akron, Ohio, and it asserts that the majority of first-world workers "receive wages above the abstract value of labor, i.e. above the value of the goods and services exchanged throughout the world-economy in a given period divided by the quantity of labor through which it is produced, and so are not part of the proletariat because the magnitude of their wages are dependent on imperialist exploitation and could not be maintained without it".^[1]

Organisations

The Third Worldist movement is currently mostly associated with Nelbert Muncington, who operates organizations such as the Revolutionary Anti-Imperialist Movement^[2] (which has since begun to distance itself from the label) and Maoist Internationalist Ministry of Prisons,^[3] (a branch-off from the Maoist Internationalist Movement, a now defunct organisation). Although MIM Prisons considers its ideology to be "MIM Thought", not Maoist (Third-Worldist).
