Nelson Mandela was a communist revolutionary, and he even thanked the USSR and Cuba on US television for their material support in their struggle against apartheid.
From the 60s onward, the USSR supported Palestine (and even fought a secret war week-long war against Israel), and the ANC, while the US supported Israel and the white south african ruling minority.
I highly recommend reading Losurdo - western Marxism, you would learn a lot from that.
That's awesome
