Permalinkcomment on the graph by Richard Seymour, Lenin's Tomb blog:
<blockquote>we have absolutely *no* reliable sources on Afghanistan. There's simply nothing comparable to the Lancet study. An epidemiological survey of the first 9 months of the Afghanistan war estimated about 10,000 excess deaths. According to Jonathan Steele, some estimates put total deaths as high as 50,000 in the first year alone. The idea that Afghan mortality now stands at below 40,000 is a joke - that country has been bombed even more intensively than Iraq.</blockquote>
So the Red and Gray slivers should be smaller and the Blue (afghan) sliver is likely quote larger.0 Like

Kasama is a communist project for the forcible overthrow and transformation of all existing social conditions. We are open to learning, unafraid to admit our own uncertainties. We will not shrink from what we do know: the solutions cannot be found within the current world order or the choices it provides. We are for revolution. We seek to find the forms of organization and action for the people most dispossessed by this system to free themselves and all humanity.
To take this road, we need a fearless, open-eyed debate, discussion and engagement. We need fresh analyses of the rapid changes shaping the world around us. We need to sum up a century of revolutionary strategies and attempts, victories and defeats – instead of the conventional wisdom and facile verdicts that paralyze our movements. We need to re-imagine a radical politics that can take life among people and move mountains.
Dig in.
