Past and present African revolutionaries continue to be inspired by
Marxism-Leninism as well as ideas from the Russian Bolshevik Revolution
of 1917. Revolutionary thinkers, such as Frantz Fanon, Aimé Césaire,
Kwame Nkrumah, Julius Nyerere, Thomas Sankara (Africa’s “Che” Guevara)
and Amilcar Cabral, just to name a few, all drew inspiration from the
Bolshevik Revolution and applied Marxist-Leninism to their respective
locals and situations. The situation has not changed as in today's
Africa, many political parties, workers, scholars, activists, the
unemployed, peasants, students as well as nationalist and revolutionary
movements draw from Marxist-Leninist ideas of socio-justice, galvanized
by the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. Dr Floyd Shivambu, Deputy Leader of
the Economic Freedom Party in South Africa will reflect on the legacy of
the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, as well as Marxism-Leninism, in Africa
and in South Africa, in particular.
