After re-reading, I think I understand. Are you saying that you personally are of Indigenous descent and for that reason don't feel like Marxism applies to you?

No I'm not. Marxism doesn't apply to me because I don't agree with Marx. And eurocentricism is an archaic framework that poses a serious limitation to anyone who adheres to it. I'm not denying the relevancy of Western influence all over the world. I'm saying why would anyone stop there?

Don't worry, you haven't insulted me. I'm not guiding the conversation anywhere in particular... except away from eurocentricism I guess.

I will agree that some of the analysis of Marx and Engels show symptoms of Eurocentrism(particularly in Engel's Origin of the Family and his conclusions on the indigenous people mentioned there).
