The ANC is the African National Congress, the majority political party of South Africa. The Communists of the 20th century espoused the cause of Blacks throughout the world and their struggle for equal rights as a method of recruiting people to their cause. Racists, then as a political ploy, began to refer to all those advocating Black equality as communists. This carried over even after apartheid had ended in South Africa. The same technique was used by American, racist, segregationists to label all those who advocated desegregation as communists, because the Communist Party advocated an end to segregation.
