If your first instinct as a westerner is to criticize and lecture 3rd world communist movements, instead of learning from their successes, then you have internalized the patronizing arrogance of the colonial system you claim to oppose.

"Successes"?
Most of them are 3rd world countries because of these movements...
The few who succeeded only use "communism" as label but are aggressively balls deep into capitalism like China.
with perhaps the exception of south korea and with some good will taiwan, not a single capitalist country reached the so called "developed" status coming from underdeveloped. all of those who did received a downpour of american taxpayer money.
