Democratic Left Front

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anti-capitalist front in South Africa

TheDemocratic Left Front was formed as a non-sectarian and non-authoritariananti-capitalist front inSouth Africa.[1][2][3] It was formed from theConference for a Democratic Left launched in 2008, at an event held inJohannesburg in January 2011.[4][5] It played a role in solidarity campaigns, most notably concerning theMarikana massacre. With the rise of theUnited Front, and following divisions within the DLF, the formation disappeared.

Debates

[edit]

TheSouth African Unemployed Peoples' Movement welcomed the DLF as an "historic opportunity".[6] TheZabalaza Anarchist Communist Front expressed reservations about the entirely middle class nature of the leadership of the DLF[7] and lack of internal democracy.[8] The leadership of the DLF included notable figures pushed out of theSouth African Communist Party, likeMazibuko Jara, and the party therefore kept its distance, and has, for several years, proposed instead a "left popular front."[9]

Campaigns

[edit]

The DLF engaged in several public campaigns. These included strong support for the rights of LGTBI people against violence.[10] The DLF was actively involved in the Occupy Johannesburg movement in coordination withTaking Back South Africa! on 15 October 2011 as part of the globalOccupy movement.[11] The DLF supported theMarikana miners' strike in 2012[12] and was centrally involved in the Marikana Support Committee.[13]
