if you are not shitposting about this, start with dependency theory. Zack Cope is good, there are a lot of other people as well. Gets you there half the way. Kites Journal is also good, they have an obnoxious writing style, but give them some chance to make their points and dont be put off by them pissing on Leftists and seemingly calling for "Civil war now!!!".
Also, dont join any thing that openly runs around calling itself Maoist, at least without looking at it thoroughly. Do your due diligence and look at what they actually do (this goes for any org btw)
Also, "Third-Worldist" is not so beloved as a term, it has been used by revisionists to make silly strawpeople about what is not even anything outrageous, but really just Leninism.
MLMs are not angry MLs, just as MLs are not angry soccdems.
I was kinda shitposting as I strictly call myself a "nonsectarian", but I definitely appreciate the theory recommendations as I want to understand as much of the left as I want. Seeing the rise in fascism does sincerely make we want to learn more about labor aristocracies and stuff like that.
I get you. It's exactly the Labor Aristocracy part why I am so sectarian, lol. Albeit, my hatred goes out more to Social Democrats working in the arms industry or tech (where does the money come from, huh??), or even just a somewhat priviledged job who wear revolutionary costumes only as long as their comfort is not threatened and who defend certain $$treamers as their main political activity.
I don't even think the LA in imperialist countries is irredeemable. Just that spending efforts to convince them to act against immediate material interests is pretty misguided. Broma (Worker Elite) is decent for those guys btw, breaks down the issues I have without the weird diatribes that boil down to "western proletarians are a bunch of wussies". God, I hate "Western Leftist" (person I disagree with) now, everybody uses it. Same as with the Qing guy meme, it got people big scared, lol, now everybody uses it
