It's depressing but it really helps you understand why the latter half of the 20th century was one long bruh moment for communism
A better explanation from SoftBoiledYurdle below:
it covers the formation of the third world and non-aligned movement of countries during the decolonizing process after WW2. it looks at how countries like egypt under nasser, indonesia under sukarno, etc had radical but syncretic political ideologies formed in material struggles for decolonization. it goes through the history of how this global bloc of radical countries played the first and second world against each other for material aid and political capital, but also how the bloc largely fell to neo-colonial influence and the stifling of radical international politics.
great read, wonderful history on an area too overlooked in mainstream understandings of the post-war world.
