All Hail the People's Revolution in Nepal!

Kamrat X/Tom201: You don't appear to know much about the government of Nepal. Tell me, on what do you base your knee-jerk support for the Maoist rebels. Somesort of commie brotherhood?

[rmsharpe]

A communist is a communist is a communist.

No matter which way you try and slice it, all communists are truly proud of Lenin and Stalin at heart.

? I dont, have an opinion about it yet, cose not enough info.
I just pointed out, that real Democracys are non common in that area. A election means nothing without the circumstances.

[Dom Pedro II]

Good. I often lie awake at night thinking to myself "When is the tyranny of the government in Nepal going to be stopped."

From the reports I've seen both the government and the rebels are ****wads.

I've started thinking that their may be some truth to that, if che, a anti-Maoist can back Maoist rebels.

Like Pol Pot in Cambodia, the Maoists in Nepal want to burn the entire country in order to "save" it.

The Khmer Rouge weren't Maoists and didn't get along with Mao. They based their ideas on the French Revolution and Robbespierre.

And what a model to follow too!

Nothing at all wrong with being proud of Lenin. He was a great thinker and leader. Any communist can only hope to be as great as Lenin.

Stalin was a criminal who derailed the revolution and set socialism back 100 years, maybe more.

[Dom Pedro II]

Yes, Stalinism and communism are two entirely different things.

KamratX:

As I said before, according to Amnesty International,

The political situation turned a corner in May when elections resulted in the establishment of a majority government.

Not to mention the other factors previously cited.
You claim that

There is no democray in Nepal even if the government tries to make it look like that.

Evidence please, or is this simply baseless assertion????

KH:
Are you describing the government's actions before or after the start of the Maoist insurgency?

[chequita guevara]

The establishment of a majority government for the first time. Given that the war was almost six years old by that point, a little late to prove the anti-democraticness of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist).

[Adam Smith]

Well, lets throw in the rebels insistence on one-party government, as reported by the BBC. I fail to see how replacement of even a nascent multiparty system with one party government can be helpful, especially when the one party insists on supporting its position with grenade launchers.

[chequita guevara]

Multiple parties doesn't guarantee democracy. We've got multiple parties and our system is farce. The litmus test as to whether a government is democratic or not is the amount of input it gets from the people and how much control over their government they have. Reports I have read indicate there is quite a lot of popular control in the liberated zones of Nepal.
