A consistent exception to this rejection of any international ideology was the black communist in the US and to some extent the black nationalist (e.g. Marcus Garvey et al.)

[…] of the East German Stasi files to the CIA (just to stick it to the Germans one last time), it turned out that at any time, the Communist Bloc had some 200,000 spies in Western countries.
