That's exactly what I said in my first comment. I was saying that we may be talking about different things. For a socialist, sure there are national revolutions, but that's not the struggle. In Wretched of the Earth, Fanon writes about how on Angola, there was a nationalist uprising that supplanted direct French colonial rule, but when the French were kicked out they just spread a bunch of money around to get their people elected or into positions of power to the new nationalist government. They fought to maintain the old system and the people weren't educated in struggle, and didn't realize they were giving their victory back to the French, but this time in the form of neo-colonial rule, or economic and political rule.

This is the kind of rule that the USA had on the island of Cuba under Bautista. But in this case there were guerrillas in the rural areas working with the peasants, and advanced socialist and communist parties in the cities working with the workers. Because the people were educated in struggle, they weren't as easy for compradores to lure the people back into neocolonial economic rule.
