Marx treated exploited colonial masses as revolutionary only in early industrialization windows

Evidence

If we consider capitalism as a global system … we see that it is divided into a handful of exploiting countries and a much more numerous and populous group of exploited countries. The masses in these exploited dependencies constitute a force in the global capitalist system which is revolutionary in the same sense and for the same reasons that Marx considered the proletariat of the early period of modern industry to be revolutionary. — Cedric J.
