      He was what you'd call a western chauvinist, saw Europe as the "most culturally developed". Doesn't make his analysis of capitalism wrong, but it did kinda blind him to the reality of colonialism which I think Lenin actually started to understand and then Mao was like "oh shit, it's the colonies that are the most likely to do revolution, not the core".
