As indicated in the first part of this series, the content of the notions revolutionary consciousness and activity are not static (https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2023-05-24-the-meaning-of-revolutionary-or-emancipatory-consciousness-and-action-before-and-after-1990-94/). Their meanings may change over time. To have a revolutionary or emancipatory consciousness and what constitute revolutionary or emancipatory activity do not mean the same thing, as conditions that prevail in South Africa (or anywhere else) change. This ought to be obvious, but much discourse is ahistorical and intended to elevate and legitimate specific movements by grotesquely claiming a “revolutionary” character for the organisations. It is an attempt to link the organisations nationally and internationally to previous revolutionary moments and movements, notably the Cuban revolution in many cases.
