+> The struggle that the Emir of Afghanistan is waging for the independence of Afghanistan is objectively a revolutionary struggle, despite the monarchist views of the Emir and his associates, for it weakens, disintegrates and undermines imperialism; whereas the struggle waged by such "desperate" democrats and "Socialists," "revolutionaries" and republicans as, for example, Kerensky and Tsereteli, Renaudel and Scheidemann, Chernov and Dan, Henderson and Clynes, during the imperialist war was a reactionary struggle, for its results was the embellishment, the strengthening, the victory, of imperialism.

+>**Yemen under the Ansarallah is a country where the power and wealth of landowners are actively diminished in an almost Marxist-adjacent fashion. In May of 2022, the third phase of the agricultural revolution was initiated by the Higher Agricultural Committee, which resulted in the expropriation of farmland across the entire country.** In Yemen’s western Tihama region, 104 thousand hectares of land was expropriated for farming. And while this is just one example of Ansarallah’s economic plan, the same story is unfolding in regions such as Dhamar, Saadah, and elsewhere.
+
+>The agrarian revolution has also led to a revival of Yemen’s 600-year-old coffee culture. “The Coffee Revolution” is an initiative directly linked to the wider agrarian renaissance that aims to boost coffee cultivation through proper education of farmers and general oversight of farms and markets. A stimulant such as Qat, native to Yemen for decades, is slowly being phased out and replaced with coffee crops. An announcement was made back in February of 2022 by the Governor of Saadah Muhammad Jaber Awad and Shura Council member Abdullah Al-Qasimi, that all qat trees are to be replaced with coffee and almonds, a project that is still actively ongoing today.
+
+>On Qat specifically, Zaid Ali Basha within his research argues that the stimulant grew across Yemen’s population much in favor of Saleh’s kleptocratic dictatorship and what he calls “qatlords”, the landlords reaping profits from Qat cultivation. Qat usage and misusage were not mitigated because they created a “politically disengaged citizenry” that had surrendered to the state. An opioid for the masses if there ever was one. So long as the people were “happy” due to an active and daily consumption of a psychoactive stimulant, the state was able to repress, oppress and exploit the people for decades to little opposition.
+
+>The dire conditions that have been imposed upon Yemen have forced the Yemeni people to rely solely and squarely on national and local produce instead of an economy over-reliant on foreign imports that have proven unsustainable and have become weaponized by the enemies of the country: “woe to a nation that eats what it does not plant, and wears what it does not weave” is a common Arabic saying that beautifully ties together what Ansarallah’s economic plan is all about.
+
+>What Ansarallah has managed to establish while facing war, starvation, and a crippling blockade, is a system that could best be described as akin to Yugoslavian worker self-management but without the overtly socialist aesthetic and tone. In fact, this system was what Ibrahim Al-Hamdi was trying to establish with his five-year plan but never realized before his death in 1977. **The state in Sana’a does not control farmland, nor does it dictate the output of agrarian produce. Farmland and output are controlled by the cooperatives, which are wholly owned and administered by Yemen’s peasantry.**

+South Yemen was Marxist-Leninist until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990. Al-Qaeda and Saudi backed Saleh killed hundreds of socialist officials in the 1990s and so a lot of them joined the Believing Youth movement founded by Hussein al-Houthi.
+
+Although Ansarallah is in northern Yemen, its politics were influenced by the inclusion of the Marxist-Leninists of the previously existing People's Democratic Republic of Yemen.
