ABSTRACT
Following the dissolution of the Comintern, communist ideas about imperialism, self-determination of nations and racial equality remained important to civil rights movements in South Africa, Canada and Australia. This chapter highlights how interwar communism underpinned these campaigns and how scholars should consider the role of the Comintern in the broader history of human rights, civil rights, and when reflecting on the importance of the Bolshevik Revolution in the present day.
