How The Left Can Fix Pakistan - Ammar Ali Jan - An Alternative to Elite Politics - #165

Uzair Younus

What should Pakistan's political structure be?   Ammar Ali Jan and Uzair Younus to come on to debate, whether Communism is better or Capitalism, the two academics on opposite sides of the aisle have a lot more in common than you think.    Ammar Ali Jan (PhD Cambridge) comes on The Pakistan Experience to discuss the recent arrest orders against him, the Student Solidarity March and his vision. Uzair Younis, a policy analyst from DC, gives his take on the tension between capitalism and communism in the modern nation state.  The two then debate what the future looks like, and what it should look like.  Debates are often made antagonistic to boost ratings but instead of watching morons shout at each other on TV, set aside 2 hours and listen to a educated discussion on what the future course of action should be for Pakistan, and for humanity.
