How apartheid was ended The struggle against South African apartheid is a source of inspiration across the world. However, the understanding of how it was overthrown is limited, especially in the West. With the struggle to free Palestine, this topic holds a particular importance, as many on the left explain their support for the Boycott, Divest, Sanction movement on the lessons of South Africa. But what does this period really tell us about how our struggle today can be successful? In this talk from Revolution Festival 2024, Fiona Lali explains the view of communists on this vital struggle.
