| [New Democracy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism%E2%80%93Leninism%E2%80%93Maoism#New_Democracy) | A tenet of Maoism that holds that the national-bourgeois in semi-feudal and semi-colonial countries has a dual character in that although it is an exploitative capitalist force, it can also (though not always) side with the proletariat against colonialism and imperialism. |
| [Protracted Peoples War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism%E2%80%93Leninism%E2%80%93Maoism#People.27s_War) | In Maoism, a strategy for achieving communism that includes winning the support of the locals(usually the peasantry) in areas away from capitalist strongholds, and waging unconventional guerrilla warfare, while building institutions of dual power to replace capitalist ones. |
| Workers Militia | An important focus of Trotskyism, where local, self-organized working-class militias, fighting for their class interests, are the primary vehicle to achieve socialism. |
| [Accelerationism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerationism) | The support for increasing the oppression of capitalism in the hope that class contradictions will reach a point that revolution will become more likely. A metaphor might be that accelerationists see our current situation as boiling a frog in water slowly, while a stark uptick in oppression will cause workers to revolt. Few communists or anarchists support it, because it harms working people, and historically increased oppression hasn't lead to increased chance of revolt. What leads to revolution is actually socialist organization efforts, and a growth in class conciousness. |

| [Intersectionality](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersectionality) | A term that signifies that the various forms of social stratification, such as class, race, sexual orientation, age, religion, creed, disability and gender, do not exist separately from each other but are interwoven together, and must be attacked equally without neglecting any one axis. |
