Prashad stressed the importance of the “national liberation” tradition of Marxism, which he distinguished from the dominant forms of Western Marxism in the Global North. This national liberation tradition, which includes revolutionary leaders like Ho Chi Minh, Kwame Nkrumah, Amilcar Cabral and Thomas Sankara, places an emphasis on developing a systemic analysis of the current conjuncture with an aim to act, rather than simply contemplate.
