Compradors are a bourgeois class in colonized and neocolonized countries that collaborates with foreign imperialists. Compradors are often descendants of the feudal lords that were rich and influential before colonization. In some anti-imperialist countries that lack a comprador class, a group of neo-compradors arises that does not control the means of production but acts on the behalf of Western imperialist NGOs such as the NED and attempts to organize color revolutions.[1]

Iran
British colonialists appointed the Pahlavi dynasty to control Iran's oil supply. The last shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was overthrown in 1979, and a new anti-imperialist government took power and executed the comprador capitalists in revolutionary courts.[1]
