Like, it’s one of the five AES countries; and yet, the other four (Cuba, China, Vietnam and DPRK) always gets the spotlight.
While I’m not entirely sure, I imagine it is due to a combination of it being a tiny nation and it being one of (if not the least) developed nations in the world due to Amerikkkan bombing. I would love to hear more about it though.
Wait those mfs bombed Laos? Why? What did Laotians do to them? I thought their beef was with Vietnam.
Even worse, it’s the most bombed country in history. Over 270 million bombs were thrown on Laos from 1964 to 1974 (a planeload of bombs every eight minutes, 24 hours a day, 9 years long). Something like 80 million of them didn’t go off, making life difficult to this day, because they’re still there.
Surely the Laotian Government could deploy sappers on the areas to defuse them like the Russian Government is doing on Donetsk-Luhansk, right?
They bombed across the ho chi Minh trail which included Cambodia and laos
Laos really hasn’t put anything revolutionary regarding theory-wise, and combined with the fact that Laos never really was unique among its other nations (China with Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, DPRK with Juche), it just kind of fell into obscurity for the most part.
Nonetheless, it would be ideal to study this as long as we got theory for it. Unfortunately, the theory is sparse or hard to find, meaning that we don’t really have a solid basis.
Honestly not too much goes on there. It’s still a normal country, doing normal things.
Isn’t Angola socialist too? It’s got the sick flag, anyway.
Honestly I think it would be great if we talked about Laos more.
