In this final part of our two part discussion we look at socialist democracy and culture in Laos. We cover what political participation looks like in Laos today including the real life functioning of a one party socialist state, democratic centralism, and consultative democracy. We also talk about what “culture” and “policy” means in Laos and the wider socialist tradition and how it differs from liberal notions of those concepts and much more!'
