Dr. Taimur Rahman is a Professor at LUMS, leads the band 'Laal', is the General Secretary of the Mazdoor Kissan Party and a leftist social activist.  Taimur comes on the podcast to make a case for Marxism being the best system of governance for Pakistan.

 In this deep dive discussion, we discuss how the state of Pakistan can move towards poverty alleviation, escape the debt trap and the state of the organized left in Pakistan. 

 What is classical Marxism? Is Communism the answer to our issues? Is the notion of the state archaic?  Hear us discuss this and more on this week's episode of The Pakistan Experience.  

The Pakistan Experience is an independently produced podcast looking to tell stories about Pakistan, and Pakistanis, through the lost art of conversation. We do deep dive long form podcasts to show you the many shades that encapsulate The Pakistan Experience.
