I'm sure you've all heard of the ongoing conflict in Nepal. It made news recently when the Maoist rebels killed a large number of state oppressors (police, military). The populist group of rebels, inspired by the Great Helmsman, Mao Zedong, are a diverse organization of men and women. They are fighting a guerilla war against a corrupt puppet monarchy whose police have raped, tortured, and murdered suspected supporters of the Maoist movement.

The autocrats must be shaking in fear - they have outlawed the popular Communist parties of Nepal and continue to hold the country in "emergency" status so their lackey police and soldiers have an excuse to crush the movement and carry out violations of the most basic human rights. The imperialists are also worried. Recently, the warmonger Powell visited Nepal to pledge US support for the "royal" parasites in power.

It's simple to see why the Maosits have wide support from the peasants - much of the country's people live in primitive conditions, in malnutrition with no electricity, running water, doctors, or basic sanitation. The corrupt landowners and officals are stealing the peoples' plots of land and the money lenders are driving them to bankruptcy. Nepal is one of the most underdeveloped countries, its present order is corrupt and controlled by the tyranny of private capital, it must be overthrown.

I don't think they really have a chance of success, especially since they only number about 6000. The vietcong was 10 times larger than that.

I read an article recently that said the maoist revolution in Nepal had a good chance of succeeding because the monarchist government is so corrupt. This is the country where the crown prince mowed down his family last year at dinner one night.

Anyhow about the only legal business there is tourism.
