He was NOT a fellow traveler! That is another term from Europe between the world wars. And it is not that simple; China for example had a Marxist movement almost as old as in Russia. Even before his death the great Sun Yat Sen practically became a convert (and a Methodist!) Several of those other countries you list are Asian colonies overun by the Japs and the left there was the primary resistance against them. Broken promices on our part led to an opening to the Stalinist later on. The Americas is a whole different history and story. In a practical sense international communism died in the spring of 1927 with the crushing of the left Kumomintang in Hankow. That is when the Soviet Union turned inward and the cult of Stalin arose. That was the end of the expected international "red revolution" following the world war. WSR
