Socialist revolutions required sidelining the national bourgeoisie during anti-colonial struggle

Evidence

Anti-colonial struggle was itself, in other words, a riven terrain. If in most places decolonization came under the leadership of the national bourgeoisie (considerably well developed in India, petty and mercantile in Kenya, with many variants in between), all the socialist revolutions that occurred in Asia and Africa between 1949 and 1978 were those where the national bourgeoisie had been sidelined and socialist hegemony established in the course of the anti-colonial struggle. — Aijaz Ahmad, In Theory, 89
