Awesome

I enjoyed Professor Kolasa's classes. They're not easy grades in any way. You have to do the reading and write two essays a week to pass. On the other hand, the grading criteria were clear and the feedback is helpful as well. There's no filler of busywork, like responding to each other's posts. Overall, you'll learn a lot in his class.

    The South African Communist Party

    This book explores the challenges facing the South African Communist Party (SACP) as it tries to adapt to the fundamental changes occurring in South Africa. The study shows that the collapse of international communism forced most communist parties to modify their core strategies and ideological positions. I ask if communism has “failed

    ” how has the SACP become more popular and influential than ever before? The paradox is resolved by focusing on a combination of ideologically motivated cadres

    a disciplined organization structure

    and a carefully preserved symbiotic relationship with the African National Congress (ANC).
