What political tendency would best describe this kind of struggle in the Third World? For obvious reasons it isn't exactly Maoist:

1) "Bloc of Dispossessed Classes and National Petit-Bourgeoisie"


A new "Bloc of Dispossessed Classes and National Petit-Bourgeoisie" in the Third World, but based on separate class organizations, would be: proletariat, hired hands performing unproductive labour (butlers, housemaids, and even military assembly line folks), proper lumpenproletariat (prostitutes where illegal, rank-and-file gangsters), coordinators (mid-level managers, academics with subordinate research staff, doctors without general practice businesses, and spetsy / "specialists"), and nationalistic petit-bourgeoisie of urban and rural areas.

No segment of the bourgeoisie is included, before or after the waging of the struggle below.

2) "People's War" based on #1 above, but also political strikes or strike waves in the cities (like in Cuba)

You have not included the peasantry in your struggle. Where is the PW going to start? In the cities?

"Petit-bourgeoisie of urban and rural areas," where "rural" is a clear reference to what you call "peasantry."

It seems that you are denying the fact that the production relations in the countryside( of third-world countries) is feudal.

So is that your reason why you think the "national bourgeoisie" is needed, alongside the already-existing "national petit-bourgeoisie"?

More importantly, you seem to classify the peasantry as petit-bourgeois which is a very big mistake.

In semi-feudal semi-colonial countries, the national bourgeoisie is a vacillating ally of the revolution.
