    yeah, I can see where you're coming from. I feel like here have to be some interesting lessons in the relationship between anti-colonial struggle and Marxism-Leninism that I would like to learn more about

      The big link I see is an overlap of immediate goals that arise from an overlap of motivations. If you're in a colonized country that's run by an imperial capitalist stooge, whatever your ideological starting point is, you want better conditions for ordinary people and your immediate goal is to overthrow said stooge. Then, as your struggle matures, you find out that capitalist states generally oppose you and ML states are willing to help you, so naturally you make friends with your allies and listen to their ideas on political theory.
