Karl Marx was influenced in his writings on communism by Lewis Henry Morgan, an American who had been studying (badly) the Haudenosaunee. Marx mentions Morgan and the Haudenosaunee as inspirations for his theories. No history of European communism is complete without mentioning indigenous communists, who actually succeeded.
Honestly, I hadn’t considered it and don’t know much about it to be fair.
