A month ago, the people of Bangladesh overthrew their dictator through their mass protest. The struggle was triggered by the reintroduction of a civil service quota system that favored supporters of the ruling party, but it was also rooted in widespread grievances including youth unemployment and cost-of-living crisis. However, the interim government that has since taken over is focused on stabilizing the situation rather than embarking on immediate reforms. How can the people of Bangladesh win the broader social change they want?
Thai socialist Ungpakorn will discuss the history of Bangladesh, the nature of the military and the main political forces, the background and current situation of the movement that overthrew the dictator, and the real alternatives.
