Hello Charlie: 1. Charlie: "More generally, though, this other statement from the thread is wrong: "bourgeois nationalists are ... a preliminary and necessary stage in the struggle for socialism outside the advanced capitalist core." (emphasis added) Consider, for example, South Africa. The people do not have to carry passes today. The overt violence of apartheid is largely gone. Yet their living standard, the nature of their labor, and the prospects for their children are miserable."
Response: I think Charlie, this does not substantiate what you are saying but the opposite-> https://ml-review.ca/aml/CommunistLeague/SouthAfrica1.htm South Africa indeed no longer deals with direct apartheid. But it was not a CP that led that. It was the bourgeois nat rev class represented by the ANC. In my view. 2. Charlie: "If communists win the leadership of a national liberation movement, there is hope. If communists cannot win leadership, or seem not even to try as in the case of South Africa, the people will remain exploited and condemned to misery." Response : Here I agree with you fully.
