Spart Talk

Trump attacks South Africa! A conversation with Comrades Jesse and Dinapolo of AmaBolsheviki Amnyama

Season 1 Episode 16

**Apologies that the audio quality is not the greatest due to the internet connection!

Join Mansa and Comrades Jesse and Dinapolo from Spartacist South Africa who help make sense of Ramaphosa's complete capitulation to Trump, what the collapse of the liberal world order has in store for South Africa,  why the more radical black nationalists like Malema are not geared to wage a serious anti-imperialist struggle, and the outlines of a working-class answer. Comrades also explain what they have been upto on the ground to help advance concrete acts of defending trade union militants through united defence work, an increasingly urgent task as imperialism tightens the screws and the ANC-led government heightens repression.
