Wahhabism pursues theological conformity without Islamist social-justice or anticolonial politics.

Evidence

Wahhabis share the belief of Islamists such as the Muslim Brotherhood in Islamic dominion over politics and government and the importance of da’wah (proselytizing or preaching of Islam) not just towards non-Muslims but towards erroring Muslims. However Wahhabi preachers are conservative and do not deal with concepts such as social justice, anticolonialism, or economic equality, expounded upon by Islamist Muslims. Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab’s original pact promised whoever championed his message, ‘will, by means of it, rule and lands and men’. — Wikipedia contributors, Wahhabism, 131
