>Third-Worldism
Third-Worldism is another term for Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, or just Maoism, which situates imperialism as the "primary contradiction" of politics; hence it focuses on people's protracted conflict and the task of nationalism more than class warfare in general; viewing the working class of a ruling hegemon as exploiters of the so-called "Third World" (a sociological term invented during the Cold War to distinguish between the Western First World, Soviet Second World, and undeveloped Third World of geopolitics - so the term "Third World" isn't really applicable today). Practically, Maoism splits the workers' movement into racial grievances against "White People". We can say that the Left has largely substituted Marx for Mao today.
>Third-Positionism
Well, as a Classical Liberal, I consider myself "neither" Communist or Capitalist in orientation, so perhaps I am of the Third Position. In Dugin's "Fourth Political Theory", he counts Liberalism as the First political theory, so that may disqualify it, if we take his authority. In terms of various strands of Fascism, we can compare them against each other more than we can compare them with each other. Gentile and ᴉuᴉlossnW develop Fascism from 1919 onwards as a type of political Hegelianism which they term "totalitarian" by the maxim "all within the state, nothing outside the state". It is radically hostile to any individualism, yet still grants personality in the state Sovereign. It is above all a philosophy of "action" (which we see in Mosley's British Fascism symbolised by the lightning bolt). National Socialism is codefied in 1919 also, by Rudolf Jung, and gives precedence to race and volk more than a political state. Before ᴉuᴉlossnW and Hitler's partnership in 1936, ᴉuᴉlossnW was anti-racial, but afterwards, was a Darwinist, such as we read in the "Manifesto of Race" (1938). So, Fascism was originally non-racial, but unifying in its Nationalism, while Hitler was purifying in his racialism. This is a great divide. Nonetheless, both men believed in life as a violent struggle, which often alludes to Nietzsche's sentiments, but not his conclusions.
