In this episode we cover the origins of European settler colonialism in Southern Africa and how that led to the 20th century white supremacist system of apartheid. Horne’s expansive knowledge of history takes us back and forth across the globe and time highlighting the class collaboration between working people and elites inherent to European settler projects from southern Africa to the United States. A class collaboration which bolstered the support of apartheid across the world. Most importantly we also go into detail about what various socialist countries specifically did to turn the tide in favor of the African resistance to apartheid. And we end on what the collapse of the socialist bloc in the early 90s meant for a South Africa in transition - impacts which reverberate into the present!
