    No worries, just a quick overview.
    The content creator is an American guy who was really fed up with how poorly designed American cities are so he ended up moving to the Netherlands. The youtube channel is really great.

    Im re-reading the manifesto and this paragraph from chapter 2 stuck out to me.

    "Communism deprives no man of the power to appropriate the products of society; all that it does is to deprive him of the power to subjugate the labor of others by means of such appropriation. It has been objected that upon the abolition of private property all work will cease and universal laziness will overtake us. According to this bourgeois society ought long ago to have gone to the dogs through sheer idleness; for those of its members who work acquire nothing, and those who acquire anything do not work. The whole of this objection is but another expression of tautology: there can no longer be any wage labor when there is no longer any capital"

    first step to unfucking aghanistan.

    there's 12 million in resources in the ground, so hopefully w the help of belt and road infrastructure the country can industrialize and the material conditions of the people can improve

    sadly not looking like socialism and taliban characteristics are compatible, given their continued prosecution of socialists, so even with industrialization it is only going to reproduce the inequality in other capitalist countries, but until those contradictions are apparent this is prob the best thing that can happen given the conditions.

    also didn't know this until recently but how bad the british f***ed up the region when they drew their line is insane.

    real accurate work there dumbasses
