So what type are they? Communist? Democracy?

Socialist dictator.

You mean Communist Dictatorship. Fuc.kin Khamtay & his 61,000 counselmen. You should know better.

Yes, I know it's a communist puppet. They have decide to called it socialist. However, whatever name it is, it's the action that matters.

What type of government? A Phuced on one...

they're Communist.

Laos is called "Saathiaranarath Prachhothipatay Prachhachhon Lao". That translates to Lao People's Democratic Republic.

lol those words remind me of thai dishes for some reason..im hungry now

I wonder how long they will be in office? they have so many members that could easily replace Khamtay when he dies..

i hope Laos would stop being communist soon. Is there a way to change that? If this keeps going on Laos will stay a poor county. I'm not sure about this but that's what i've heard.

saudi arabia,iraq&kuwait are the world largest OIL producers,of course they're super rich. u guys know why US invaded iraq. to answer this...mainly for the OIL.

laos isn't too poor like most people think. laos has 6 electricity dams&plans 5 more,in fact the world bank just approved US1.3 billion loan for NamTheinRiver dam in laos,the NamtheinRiver will be one of the largest&biggest dams in S.E. Asia. laos is moving 4 forward!!! BELIEVE IT OR NOT...LAOS WILL BE RICH ONE DAY BY USING ITS ELECTRICITY DAMS AS THE MAIN BUSINESS. laos is the only country in S.E. Asia that has the most water rivers,if not many rivers u can't build many dams. LAOS CAN SELL ITS ELECTRICITY TO NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES,THAILAND,CAMBODIA,VIETNAM,BURMA,OR MAYBE CHINA.
money talks!!!

laos goverment is nothing but a joke they dont care about anyone but themselve and how much money they are going to make instead of helping our people they oppress them. the only thing that the laotion goverment wich i belive is communist has done for our people has been to make our country one of the poorest in the world. When will the communist goverment see past there own personel gain and help our people and when i ask you will the goverment finally stand up a say lets help our country develop lets help our people let try to find a way to revive our economy will i see it in my life time probally not but i hope that one day the people of our country will one day rise up and say enough is enough.

I probably won't be alive to see a revolution.

I haven't heard of too many Laotian independence or anti-communist groups. Cambodia and Vietnam both had/have monarchist groups intent on restoring democracy. It more or less succeeded in Cambodia. I haven't seen much for Laos.

Its also confusing because were the king who was executed in 1976 by the Lao communsits descended from the Luang Prabang royal family?

How's stopping being a communist country going to help when you have corruption and the denials of directed genocides? People these days...

The end of communism would need a revolution to overthrow the dictatorship. Then some mad U.N. intervention. Cuz even without Communism, there will always be corrupt officials. Them 3rd world countries.

don't forget... our people play a role in that revolution
anyways....

in my eye's the Laotain is nothing more but a Nazi Govorment.

nobody cares what you think but SGU

I THINK LAOS IS BETTER OFF WITH THE ROYAL FAMILY IN CONTROL THAN THE PATHIC LAO...ITS CORRUPTED AND WILL ALWAYS BE...

how many usernames you going to create?

Communist.

the lao government is garbage.

i agree with all of u. fu ck the pathet lao. shame to all those officials that do jack $hit but jus take money for them selves. they re not true buddhist at all. one day there will be a revoloution.. but uh.. i think the rebels are lacking funds n some are too malnurished lol. it is messed up that the lpdr aint doin jack about the poverty. the country mostly rely on donations and hand outs like the homeless. turning our noble people into beggars.

Heh, sounds like all of you guys are whitebashed and taught to hate Laos, probably Americanized. As for me, born in Laos die in Laos. Love Laos to death no matter what.

i love laos too. i just dont like the government and what they are doing. its not like i hate the country just the people that run it.

If it weren't for them, Lao would probably have been taken over by the Americans and those Hmong people that were constantly attack Lao trying to revolt and take our land.

But what's happening in right now is Lao is getting a little better each year, the economy is going up and the government is opening up a little more.

That's what you were being told and indoctrinated. You're pretty dumb to make such a statement, don't even know your own history. If it weren't for hmong people, your pathetic revolution would have never succeeded. It was through them that gives the commie their strengths.

Heh, don't try to teach me the history of my people. Now if you're from Laos and if you were born in Laos then I'll consider your opinions. Everyone knows it was the Viets that help us succeed and massive supplies from China and the Soviet Union.

I was born in Laos alright... Please take some time to research your own history. Don't be ignorant...

Oh really, ok answer this. What Bahn are you from? what province are you from? and tell a little bit of Prabang and currently about it now. and how well do know much of Lao people. I'm guessing you are Hmong. Your advice can prove to be useful to yourself.

Hey Cao cao, arent you like half chinese or something?

Yea, half Han Chinese. People say I look fully Chinese most often.

Born in Saiyabori however you spelled that place. I could careless about your prabang, all I know is that you're all mindless drones.

heh, pathetic believe in whatever you believe in.

that's a pretty dumb thing to say...just b/c someone isn't born in your country u neglect their opinions...shows how great you are...

serves to know more when one is born in the country, absorbing all aspects of the country and living in that country.

when a country like Laos, China, or Vietnam is taught in Western countries like U.S. sometimes it's not reliable to rely on their teachings since they tend to be bias and all kinds of propaganda against these countries because of their hostilities in the past.

Whatever...you're the one that's being bias...

your opinion, like i was saying live in my shoes ive lived in both sides of philosophies. One Communism and Anti-Communism after that you'll understand.

Hey wakeup! just wake and see the real world ,how can you be rich if your GOV didn't care there people. How can your country will be develop if all of your money that you have didn't use to develop your country , they currup most of it and didn't care your people, they only care themself ,you say you have many river and can be rich from sell electric,hey one thing u should know human greedy didn't have a limit, the most u gain the most they currupt ,so how many will be left for country?.
