South Asia is predominantly socialist. There are strong socialist movements in Latin America and Africa as well. If not for imperialist interference and the collapse of the USSR most of these places would be communist.
Every Marxist-Leninist revolution has happened in poor colonized nations, none happened in rich core nations.
Poor and deteriorating conditions within a capitalist society is a prerequisite for revolution. It’s necessary but not sufficient, revolutionary consciousness and organized Marxist parties are also necessary
Which South Asian country is predominantly socialist? The control of some regions in India is left to socialist parties because they do not present a threat to the country at all and collaborate in making the country stronger and more attractive for foreign investment.
If not for imperialist interference and the collapse of the USSR most of these places would be communist.
There will always be imperial interference unless there is a revolution in the heart of capital. This is a given. It will always happen. Local collaborators will even invite invaders.
I never said imperialist bourgie dictatorships are going to suddenly stop doing imperialism on their own whim. I said that it is the duty of communists within imperialist nations to work towards destroying their own empire before all else. They need to be a fifth column and internal division, focused on annihilation of their own bourgeois state above all other concerns. The reason imperialism was so potent throughout the 20th century was because socialists within imperialist nations were social chauvinists and refused to do what was necessary. They formed the anarcho-Trotskyist-hippy anti-communist left and contented themselves with moral purity tests, attacking socialism, feeding into the red scare and fence sitting. This was all under the backdrop of unions being decimated by neoliberals, all radical movements being snuffed out, communism in the west being crushed. That mistake must not be repeated
