circulated a draft of his theses on “The Question of Colonized People
and Oppressed Minorities.” The end-result of this was the inclusion in
the “21 Conditions” for Comintern membership, of an obligation to
provide “direct aid to the revolutionary movements among the dependent
and underprivileged nations and in the colonies.” While often cited by
Marxists as evidence of the Bolshevik’s commitment to anti-imperialism,
few cite the role of colonized activists in its formation.
