Just because Marx and Lenin are dead doesn't make them not two old white dudes (with the caveat that alot of tankies love Mao who only met 2 of 3 of those criteria)
WRT Marx specifically, most modern Marxist-Leninists subscribe to a pretty different (more advanced) view on colonialism and the national question that were developed later by African and Asian Marxists like Ho Chi Minh, Fanon, Said, and Nkrumah. The criticism of Marx's eurocentrism has been laid out for a long time and if you find MLs that still subscribe to the exact things Marx laid out in his work with regards to the global south, they're probably people who are stuck in the 19th century and aren't reading more modern theory.
Just because the origins are with Marx, Engels, and Lenin, does not mean that they aren't continued on by Fanon, Rodney, Mao, Nkrumah, Guevara, Sankara, and more to the modern day.
Well, they weren't in the Epstein files at least.
