Comrades,
So far a huge lot of matter had been and have been discusses in the forums of this website and in my opinion, some very good opinions, information and suggestion have been posted here by many subscribers. But, I am wondering if that can be reached to the real people, who at present are engaged in the real struggle around the world. As for example, as lot had been and have been discussed about the revolutionary processes going on in Nepal, but so far, how many people of Nepal, who are actually doing the hard works themselves hear about us and if some does hear about us, what was and is their opinion? There are forums like "solidarity with Cuba" and "hands of Venezuela". but so far, at least I haven't noticed any participation from any citizen of Cuba and Venezuela in those forums.
In such a scenario, I want to opinions and suggestions of other members about how to hear our voices to the revolutionaries of the world and how to hear from them. At least, I myself want party representatives of the ruling parties of Cuba and Venezuela and struggling parties like UCPN(M) and CPI(Maoist) here and want to hear their views about our opinions and suggestions. How can this be possible?

Plan a public event at your campus or library where you could talk about those international events (i.e. a "teach-in")!

It would help fight a pervasive neocolonial ideology in the imperialist nations if the the Nepalese Maoists could have an international bureau that could recruit political officers from the people's militias and People's Liberation Army to go out and speak about the situation in their country.

In my opinion, this online meetings are far more effective than a public event at campus or library.

In my opinion, the opposite is true, but it depends what you want to do. If you want to cheaply and easily connect some people who are already committed activists to each other, the internet can facilitate a lot. I love the internet. But if you want to connect with the vast majority of the population that aren't committed political activists, or if you want to make really strong local connections (even local connections to groups working in other countries), in-person meetings in public places have major advantages.

There's no reason not to do both.

How can this be possible?

All the third world Maoist parties(except UCPN(M)) are banned. How do you think is it possible to meet representatives from those parties by asking in this forum? Even though someone could contact you on the net, it is highly unlikely because people can be tracked that way and that person would then risk the arrest of his comrades and himself.

Although people belonging to the ruling parties of Cuba and Venezuela could tell us about their thoughts on the ongoing revolutions in the Philippines, India, Turkey etc. I am also very eager to know whether they are in anyway planning a trade-boycott on these countries or at least extending ideological support to the peoples' wars.

Actually, instead of just preaching of thoughts, I suggest exchange of thoughts between people who are committed. Those who are committed, can have thoughts which can be beneficial of revolutionaries on other part of the world. It is my motto, not just educating people about revolutionary processes.

Fair enough, I don't think that changes what I said though, in fact I think it even reinforces what I said - it's even harder to build sympathy and communication over the internet than it is simply to dispense information.

Why not? Internet is quickest and cheapest way of communication today. It can be a great tool for revolutionaries worldwide. What you have said actually meant that at present we haven't been able to utilize the real potential of Internet till today.

Probably the best English language source to get information on the Venezuelan revolution (as well as other developments in Latin America is http://www.venezuelanalysis.com/

I've had the pleasure of meeting important figures in the Venezuelan and Bolivian revolutions. They tend to be not so keen on meeting for the sake of meeting, but to build practical ties to people who can aid the revolutionary processes.

Our Bolivian solidarity group is more a network than an activist group but provides some basis for action when the imperial hammer comes down.

Kindly give us some brief about what kind of people they think are good enough to make practical ties for the benefit of Bolivarian revolution? I think there are willing people enough, who are willing to help Bolivarian revolution.
