Laos is the most unpopular and least talked about communist country, nut just in regard to the media and the press but even here! We don’t even have a Laotian flag! I don’t even know what Laos is like geopolitically, I don’t know weather it’s really close to Russia and China like how Cuba and the DPRK are or if it’s cucked to America like Vietnam. I would of thought that the most bombed country on earth would come up more in political discourse.
They were trying not to get bombed again
I mean people barely talk about Vietnam too outside of its importance for the US.
Really it's more that the other three officially communist states have good reasons for people to talk about them. China is becoming the most powerful country in the world, Cuba has geopolitical relevance in the Americas, and NK is a lolcow.
Laos might be interesting to learn about. We could start a reading group or some shit.
>>2614910>communist >countryChoose one
>>2614916The empty circle was empty
>>2614914>hasn't read lenin or marxMost well read Marxist
How tf is vietnam cucked?
>>2614919I was referring to in the mean time, there has to be a period of statism before statism ends
>>2614914My favourite ancom is Marx
>>2614922China officially mourned the death of Kissinger and beg for friendly relations with the US and shared rape of the third world every day albeit
>>2614912>NK is a lolcowNo, u.
>>2614919Anarchists and leftcoms don't get to claim Marx, honey.
>>2614923Who spent his entire life shitting on anarchists? Interdasten
>>2614924I guess that’s also true
>>2614927Anarchists are statists, that's why Marx ruthlessly criticized them.
>>2614925It is for basically anyone who isn't terminally online.
>>2614910It's a country that exists purely for drug smugglers to hide. I'm questioning whether their government even works. Also, their citizens are really happy. Avoiding stress is a virtue over there in their culture. Really poor country, and the Thai are very racist towards the Lao. But it's beautiful, one of the coolest countries you could go to. I believe they had a kingdom there, and it's history is intriguing. Laos has Chintanakan Mai, which is their "New Thinking". Better than Cambodia which is a Chinese vassal state.
>>2614930Ceausescu was the only person who took it seriously, look what happened to him.
>>2615106because no one cares about vietnam, people however do care about china
>>2614910They're very small, poor and kind of irrelevant geopolitically. I still like them tho, I wish them nothing but the best
>>2615108I care about Vietnam.
>>2615106>not a single one about Đổi Mới ReformSince it was pretty much a copy-paste of Deng's reform years later and with less success (predictably) it's not that interesting.
>>2614931>It's a country that exists purely for drug smugglers to hide.borderline racist take
>Cambodia which is a Chinese vassal state.borderline NAFO take
are you as ugly outside as you are inside?
>>2615193>>2615106do moi crashed the economy in the 2000s you fat retard
>>2614924>China raped the third worldhahaha, oh, mr. Nato guy, you are very funny today, please kindly kill your self
>>2615195It's true though? Most of Laos has nothing, it's an amazing country but it's where 90% of drug smugglers to SEA come from? They go from Laos to Singapore
>>2615197Okay but can Chinese porkies stop exporting capital to my brown country?
>>2614912>and NK is a lolcow.what!?
>>2615373what the fuck else is there to export? do you even fucking know what capital is you retard?
>>2614931>Really poor country, and the Thai are very racist towards the Lao. why? aren't northeastern thai laotians?
>Better than Cambodia which is a Chinese vassal state.what's wrong with that
and besides laos depends on china as well
>>2615241
Can you go into detail?
what ocean?
Who is the Laotian Che Guevara, the Laotian Ho Chi Minh?
Redpill me on the guy
>>2615817Let me elaborate on my reply, he is practically forgotten from mainstream Marxist history, but he was of Vietnamese descent, and he was able to successfully diffuse ethnic tensions in Laos unlike what happened over in Thailand and Cambodia.
I interpret the Laotian civil war to have been three way, between communists, monarchists, and pro democracy activists, and his victory saw him stating that Laos would approach communism by skipping the capitalist stage but I could be making shit up. A lot of his efforts was alright in the short run, but Laos would later become pretty corrupt, much of the same families who ruled Laos back during the French era would still end up in the Communist party.
He liberalized the economy, but on a smaller scale than Gorbachev and Deng. It's going really well right now because it's a landlocked country and it got bombed a billion times. Most people in Laos are apolitical, and they are more friendly than their neighbors.
He saw it better off to not have infighting, and didn't want his own specific ideology, but his successors preferred him having his own.
A lot of the elites in Laos are from Vietnam, and a lot of stuff is sold to Chinese investment companies. Laos is more of a free country than Thailand or Cambodia right now, it's not that bad.
He also once purged 10% of the country since they were intellectuals. A lot of brain drain, too, but the fact not much is not known about the Hmong insurgency in Laos is proof that they're able to keep the country together.

Along with an Opium war between Laos and Burma
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_Opium_WarIt's impressive how the country still survives
No one here is from Laos and both it and Vietnam have fully abandoned socialism.
>>2615874Kill yourself please
What's there to talk about
>>2614922That's not true. Vietnam takes a neutral position between China and the US and has good relations with both countries.
>>2614910>Why doesn’t anyone talk about or give a fuck about LaosNever heard of her.
>>2615985
20 years is a bit short for that tho
>>2615985
Climate change is a scam, nothing ever happens
>>2616015
Shit is never going to happen, it's better to have revolution than care about an eternal nothingburger
>>2616020
No
>>2616022
It is real, you're just stupid. Revolution happens and will happen. I have a dream and it will never die. The masses will never collapse, even if the Earth "does".
>>2616026
They do, and they can be rehabilitated. The bourgeois poisoned them. Revolution will happen.
>>2616059
What do you believe in then? Peoples lives were lost during them. They were just and they failed because they were just. Revolution happened and will keep happening.
>>2616063
Then you are not real.
>>2616065
No, you're fake. I am real.
>>2616067
I will educate you, first you must pick up Das Kapital.
>>2616069
Then you must read other Marxist works, friend. We'll bring you to the light. Your mind will open up.
>>2615840>A lot of the elites in Laos are from Vietnamhow did that happen?
>>2616072
What do you read then? You have to believe in something. Why do you know that you are real? Friend, you must join us.
>>2615840> Laos is more of a free country than Thailand or Cambodia right nowwhat do you mean by that?
>>2616081
I believe in this, then. You're a good person who can be helped. And that you will be helped one day. Bless you, you are hurt.
>>2616092
We are, I said so. You're a person, to me. And that's what matters.
>>2616095
You'll probably survive, friend, what's your method? Unless you're in Amerikkka and have access to a gun, it's just not possible for us living down. The bourgeoisie control everything and want us to work forever. Suicide is gatekept. Good luck if you're serious, I have tried before and failed, I didn't tell others. I'm going to shoot myself if I get the opportunity on my next attempt.
>>2616104
Good luck, document your method on a site like SaSu if you can. You're a good person, remember that.
>>2616107
Sanctioned suicide is the website
>>2616130To be fair, living in Laos would probably make someone want to neck themselves. Just leave for Vietnam or China, it's not worth it.
>>2616100Burn 2 kilograms of extra fine steel wool in a small room that you've used tape to seal off the ventilation in. Make sure it's placed on a glass plate or something so you don't actually cause a fire. The burning iron will suck up the oxygen and you won't feel a thing while you browse your phone or read a book.

Shit is lolZ
>>2614912>NK is a lolcowDPRK is not a lolcow. They literally rebuilt their entire country after every single city, the entire electrical and water grid were razed to the ground, without much outside help, and under heavy sanctions, with 10-20% of their population slaughtered by the US.
>>2616132Why though? Don't they have opium?
>>2616145I don't know what you could do over there
>>2616137Ngl if the DPRK got resources it would be a paradise
>>2616742Isnt like 80% of the area mountains and swamps? Dunno about critical resources tho
>>2616763Lots of land to clear
The ocean?
