I think Marx underestimated the class divisions created by colonialism between colonizers and the colonized. It turns out that settlers could be bribed with the superprofits created through the superexploitation of colonized people. It took later theorizing by Lenin and Mao and Fanon and Du Bois to advance theory to that point.
Sure, although once we foreground the concept of “colonialism” it also crops up in those socialist contexts too: see the Bolsheviks’ treatment of Ukraine, or the ongoing maintenance of North Korea as a source of slave labor.
Maybe.
