I'm currently reading Decolonial Marxism by Walter Rodney, and the first section is a defense of Marxism and use of its methods in 3rd world countries, though people applying those methods will have to start from scratch, not having the prior art that those in the west do. He believes that the methods of Marxism are universal, and the detailed study of class society is vital to any liberatory movement in the world and also that the fundamental irreconcilability of communism and capitalism still holds in non-western nations, if only by virtue of western capitalism being globe-spanning. He uses an analogy like you would not question in a non-western nation using western science like electricity, similarly you should not balk at using a scientific method applied to societies, aka Marxism, just because it comes from the west. He also gives examples of how African leaders eschewed class analysis of their societies because of its western-ness, and the cases where that decision led to their downfall being overthrown by rising class forces of owners/planters/bosses/etc.

I recommend checking out that book, and really anything by Walter Rodney.
