The Lessons of Angola - Walter Rodney, 1976

Walter Rodney criticises the support given to UNITA (backed by the CIA, apartheid South Africa, and Maoist China) in Angola by many leftists in the US. Rodney supported the MPLA, who had support from Cuba. This speech was given just over a year before a factional split in the then victorious MPLA led to the massacre of up to 25,000 mostly black working class MPLA supporters, however the arguments against UNITA support remain historically relevant.
