Soviet Splitting Tactics
Isaacs affirmed the need to support the Black nationalist movements as a whole and was critical of the Soviet Union support for only the ANC, while ignoring the other legitimate liberation organisations.
He also outlined a probable economic agreement between southern African states to reduce their present economic reliance on the Pretorian regime. This would allow the calls for economic boycotts to be far more effective than they have been to date. The biggest threat to the boycott comes from western imperialism, especially multinational corporations with interests in South Africa.
He reaffirmed the necessity to prevent the Springbok tour taking place. This would be a further step towards the international isolation of South Africa. It will aid in weakening the structure of apartheid, and thus contribute, in a small way, to the liberation fight. He ended by saying that victory and liberation of Azania is inevitable. It is only a question of when.
