I don't really fuck with the first, second, and third world concept but everyone I have met who would call themselves a third worldist (even jokingly) was really cool. I think I also fall into this catagory but I want to make sure I am understanding it correctly.

Gotcha, thank you. Like my fine line between deep respect and admiration for Comrades Traoré, Castro, Guevara, Lenin, Sankara, and others. I literally have to check myself from hero worshipping, when I realize it's creeping in.They are heros, but human, like us. With correct preparation, conditions, and support, anyone in these threads can be a role model -- and with too much ego and too little of the aforementioned conditions, an unintentional villain.

Thanks again!
