"1st, 2nd, and 3rd World" designations were always problematic, but at least they made some sense in the 20th century Cold War.

The "1st World" is Western Democratic Capitalist States. (The US and NATO nations).

The "2nd World" was a designation for Soviet states. (Though, if we were to modernize this language, I would say that BRICS is our contemporary "2nd World".)

The "3rd World" was just "everyone else", but eventually became synonymous with "poor and industrializing nations".

What would a "4th World" nation be?

he's not an ancap (...) he's a psychotic conservative

Pretty much the same thing.

Ancaps care MUCH more about the freedom of corporations to oppress without government interference than any of the personal liberties they pretend to be all about.

Argentina has aligned with the Soviets and NATO against non-aligned nations.

ok, but that's a group thing. In the discussion to hand, we need to establish that he doesn't even behave like a theoretical ancap, not just that ancaps are liars.

I know we're meme-ing about Argentina's cringe-ass president, but there are theories of "fourth world" societies.

If the First world is the US and its allies, the Second world is the USSR and it's allies, and the Third world is all of the non-aligned countries, then Fourth World theories assert that the Fourth World consists of indigenous peoples who's integration into the institutions of modernity are tenuous.

So, think Bedouin tribespeople with smartphones, or nomadic pastoral peoples in the Sahel who regularly cross national borders to graze their cattle, or indigenous Americans on reservations who's sovereignty is always contested.

Made another comment, but I'll also respond here, with a real explanation. 'The Fourth World' consists of indigenous peoples. Typically those who's integration into institutions of modernity are in some way tenuous.

I don't think anyone has theorized that yet, but you could be the first!
