IT was for sure the best period in the entire history of Afghanistan, regardless the war going on in some regions... Now, there are more people dying in bomb blasts during peactime in Kabul than during the communist era when the country was in a war. And about the womans role in the society we cannot talk...

The lost world of Communist Afghanistan is beyond fascinating to me. I hope the people who preserved the archives can publicly release these movies to the public domain.

and then the Americans came to support the Islamic extremism to overthrow communism

Billy Meier Back when communism was powerful, they used to say, "Better red than dead." But today, when Americans are the real great power on Earth, the motto is "If you don't want to be America's brother, they'll crack your skull." It's easy to say that terrorism can be fought by force, but the consequences are worth considering. It's easy to say that violence against terrorism is easy to do, but you must consider what happens as a result. As in all places where there is trafficking, war, revolutions and insurrections, etc., the principle is that a counter-attack is done at once, loosely based on the traditional words "As you make me, so do I" and “Whoever sows violence and terror will reap violence and terror!

Totally agree. However, there is an easy solution to terrorism. Make the disenfranchised people middle class. With a middle class income. Though obviously impossible to do without the ability to tax the over 800 Billionaires in the US and more throughout the world, including the over 100 Chinese Billionaires.

A missed chance to modernize the country and society. A missed chance for progress for millions of people.

Amazing documentary, all the parts, mashallah

Many in the west have managed to remain ignorant of Afghan culture despite the increased tv coverage since 9/11. As someone with a social sciences education, I love peering into the past because so much material culture is being lost as global markets bring products that are simply easier to acquire than making them locally. I pay particular attention to what people wear and love traditional textiles. Rug weaving cultures seem to retain that skill as rugs are exported. Traditional clothing changes much quicker. You can still plenty of salwar kameez but many are mass produced in pakistan. In the last year or so I see more shirts that do not have a western style collar and central buttons. They often have buttons down the side. I don’t know if these are traditional styles returning from a local source or if they are simply new imports. I also see fewer pakols. Are turbans considered to be more wealthy looking and have taken some of the pakol’s popularity? Are the turbans particular to certain ethnic groups? Slight variations for the number of different groups.I don’t see enough variety for that. If any Afghans can better inform me, I would be greatly appreciative.

It ruined the country, afghanistan was at its peak during daud khan presidency.

The whole Taliban and in turn Fundamentalist ideology is so bizarre and unreasonable to me. Why is the cinema banned? Why is music illegal? Why are sports discouraged? Why, outside of strict religious education, are girls/women not allowed to earn an education? During the Taliban's first go-around they made it so that boys/men also had to suffer when it came to getting an education. In regards to education don't they realise that an educated populace makes for a strong country with a robust economy as well as a vibrant cultural life? If anyone could answer the many questions I have I'd be thankful, though I suspect that even then the answers might not raise my feelings and alleviate my fears for the entire Afghan nation....

Are you American? Your country has occupied my Afghanistan for almost 20 years. What questions may still remain here? The Taliban society is like this because it sees support only in it, the population is poorly educated, and therefore sees its support only in the clergy of the mullahs. The Soviets tried to break these chains, these fetters. They almost succeeded if your country did not sponsor the radical Islamist opposition here. Less educated people are easier to manage. That is why the USSR invested a lot of money in education in Afghanistan.

Do not be fooled cause education is a word and therefore a mere opinion or interpretation of a man or woman. What matters kind of quality of man or women will the word describe? As an educated man, I see or have been shown the beauty of a people that are kind and loving. Creative and funny who are blessed with the divine intelligence and culture that like delicate flower softly complements their Creator. A people wise to disguise an act or performance in a way that preserves culture and provides an education from which all can learn a lesson in love and its display of affection by warm and reflection...

absolutly not. in italy the best period ever was when there was a strong communist and socialist party. of course communism and socialism adapt for italy: trade open but under regulation. after the destruction of berlin wall italy went to ruin. its now an america maffioso country colony like south america. in sweden too there was a strong socialist party. afghanistan went in ruin by america maffioso country. no doubt about that. finally communist is one of many form of socialism and basic socialism ideology is of national resource cant be privatized. so even gheddafi can be categorized as socialist same fascism same democratic country like sweden or italy after the ww2. for me, communism as closed market is not good, but for certain poor country to avoid money and corrutpion from outside can be good and also a king or dictator can be good: all of them have to take care of population and so has to be socialist to some degree.

So basically Afghanistan's troubles started by Soviet union. They have to compensate Afghans for every loss till now ,and future !!!

I'm upper middle class and I don't know any wife swappers or people abusing children and if it happens, it's not because of people's bourgeois nature but their degeneracy.

@@toobalkain I like chatting with people who experienced life in so-called "communist" countries. Thanks for responding. "I don't know any wife swappers or people abusing children" You haven't seen the news in the last few years? As for "communist" countries. There is something strange about your claim to have grown up in a "communist" country. If you really grew up in one of these countries? then you would know that they never claimed to be Communist and all of them quite honestly claimed to be Socialist. For example, the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics, Not Communist republics. And as far as the Communist Manifesto. Marx describes various forms of Reactionary Socialism in the Manifesto. And interestingly, he describes a reactionary socialist ideology that he sarcastically calls, "True" Socialism. How come nobody in these socialist countries noticed this? I'm truly curious. Fact, is no one in the west notices this either. So, I have come to conclusion that it is modernist ideology that blinds people to Marx's own words right in front of their own eyes. Hence, the complete inability of modernists to Deconstruct. Though I do see very clearly how bourgeois wealth will inevitably corrupt children born into wealth. I do have extremely wealthy friends who were born into wealth. And they tell me stories of extreme corruption. And I believe it. In addition, In his chapter on Reactionary Socialism Marx functionally describes modern Europe and American mixed economies, which he called Bourgeois Socialism. So, I agree with Marx that we have graduated to a world wide Socialist mode of production, that will in turn result in a world wide revolution against socialism as well. Just as Feudalism more or less evolved into Capitalism. And Capitalism evolved into Socialism. And so on. Thanks for your critique. It was fun responding. Ta

@@meenki347 true, no country called itself communist, it was supposed to be the end goal, a utopia with no money and such but for practical purposes most people refer to those countries as communist in the sense that this was the guiding philosophy of the regime. I grew up in ex Yugoslavia, which was communism lite compared to the Soviet bloc and I can understand why some people would like it, and why many did like it, it fostered a sense of camaraderie, of social cohesiveness and of sincere personal relationships unstained by greed and selfishness, it had a certain quaint charm to it, but it depended hugely on not having a point of reference, on massive indoctrination and it was unsustainable, when recession set in it was every man for himself like everywhere else and just like in some ways it brought out the best in people, it also brought out the worst. Problem is, central planning doesn't work, not if you want freedom and prosperity and people tend to prefer that to poverty and tyranny. You seem to rely heavily on Marxism in your analyses and while Marx might have gotten some things right, he failed in pretty much all his predictions, economies based on his ideas invariably did terribly and always took a tyranny to enforce such a system. To me Marxism is a lot like its sister psychoanalysis, unfalsifiable pseudoscientific gibberish.
