Could this help explain why the only marxists after Lenin who stand out as indisputable giants are non-europeans -- Cabral, Mao, James, Ho. Perhaps, though he was not a marxist, one should nevertheless add Malcolm. There have been innumerable fine marxist scholars and activists (and activist scholars), European and non-European, but none stand out as these men do.
