After a long hiatus, AES is back — and we're kicking things off with the return of a favorite guest: Holly High! In this episode, we dive into Holly's latest project, her substack Laos: Revolutions in Reproduction, exploring how socialist ideals shape everyday life. We discuss: socialist housing and urban planning in Laos, property ownership under socialism, the evolving role of the socialist state and much more! Join us for a thoughtful conversation on how revolutions live on in the structures and systems of everyday life. https://substack.com/@revolutionsinreproduction hollyhigh.net...
