If your first instinct as a westerner is to criticize and lecture 3rd world communist movements, instead of learning from their successes, then you have internalized the patronizing arrogance of the colonial system you claim to oppose.

That depends on what you mean by "successful." Successful at achieving communism? None of them so far. Successful at overthrowing capitalism? Many of them. Successful at maintaining the dictatorship of the proletariat and preventing it from becoming revisionist or reactionary? A few, such a Cuba and North Korea.
