Afghan People's Socialist Party

The Afghan People's Socialist Party was a political organization in Afghanistan that promoted socialist ideas, aiming for social equality and government control of key industries. Active mainly during the 1970s and 1980s, it advocated for reforms aligned with Marxist principles, supporting modernization and land reforms. Its influence was significant during the country's political upheavals, especially as Afghanistan grappled with conflicts involving communist and anti-communist forces. The party played a central role in the decade of communist rule before the Soviet invasion, reflecting the broader Cold War tensions affecting Afghanistan's history.
