New Nepal soon

[che_diwas]

Dear Comrades...

The King has announced that he has given the power back to the people... I would like to request you all that this is just a ploy and dont think that we have won, now the real struggle has begun for our dignity. He has given the power back considering Constitution 1990 Article # 35. We (all the anti monarch) are against it because the same constitution 1990 article # 127 has given the power to the king to take the power back.

More than a dozen protesters have become martry during two weeks of royal army and royal police firing and beatings. I am contuningly on the streets from morning to night defying shoot on sight curfew. We are not giving up our lives to elect a prime minister as the king has asked the seven parties to do.. All of the people and the seven parties alliance along with Maoists have rejected the King's offer.

Our bottom line is the election for Constitutional Assembly which will guarantee the monarch's place in the future, the Royal Army will be put under the people's control, after this the Maoist's will become a political party and will compete in general election along with other parties. Dont think that parliament politics will hamper the maoist and other left wingers. In Nepal there are many political parties. There are 12 parties supporting Marxism, Lenninism, only two right wing parties, and 2 Feudalistic Clique parties, but after the revolution, the feudalistic parties will be eliminated. According to this, the number of communists are around 70% of the total population of Nepal. Now when Maoist join them, there will be maximum. So the house of representatives will have 80% communists. It wont be like ploreterian dictatorship but all the decisions will be made favouring communism.

The UN, EU, USA, India, China have welcomed the king's move.... Fuck them all. Fuck the BJP of India which always stands in favour of the King and not with the People of Nepal. They dont care about us because we dont have any natural resourses in our country like Petroleum, coal, etc. So the west doesn't really give a dam about us. In a way it's great because we dont have to listen to their crap as the Iranians, Palestines, south americans have to listen nearly every day.

The struggle for Nepalese people will continue ... these are our steps...

1) Re install the house of representatives ( not through the king but by the Supreme Court)
2) Form a interim government with interim prime minister.
3) Hold talks with Maoists on how the new constituion should be formed.
4) Hold elections for constitutional Assembly and the people will decide whether we will have a ceremonial monarch or republic.

If the king had asked the supreme court to re install the dissolved house in his address, than it would have been welcomed.. but he chose the wrong way, the way that will take the monarch to hell.

The countdown has begun on the end of king and the rise of new Democratic Republic of Nepal. Lets hope it wont take long.

Accept my greetings...

Untill and always ready to fight and die for Marxism,Leninism, Guevarism....

Good luck in your struggle..My knowledge on Maoism is only limited but I hope the future of Nepal is truely democratic to the working class and that the corruptivity of past 'communist regimes' does not arrive to the Nepalese people.

This might be useful in spreading the revolution towards India and cause a ''Domino Effect''. Time will show.

i hope that the nepalese will disband the monarchy entirely when they have the chance to do so.

be carefull and dont take unneccesary risks also consider where you stand are you willing to risk getting shot ?
if so then join the poeple that picked up weapons to fight the king if not then protests inside the time frams you are allowed to be outside.

anything in between is unneccesary risk if you dont do something that helps the rebellion.

According to the Red Cross (and a CNN clip I just saw), the RNA shot into crowds with live ammunition and wounded 243 people today alone.

i think the important thing for the left in nepal to ensure is that no concessions are made to the monarchy, and pro-capitalist forces on the right, and that they use their influence of a hopefully socialist/communist governemnt to inspire further revolutions in the region.

I first started getting into Nepalese politics when tourism in Nepal was part of my geography exam. Obviously 'political instability' was a factor to take into consideration. My knowledge of the peoples struggle in Nepal is new, but now as the Kings fascist regime collapses my best wishes go out to the people in Nepal.

All power to the people!

Some very interesting developments have been taking place in Nepal recently.

Up until even as recently as last month, there were two very different struggles taking place in Nepal.

On the one hand there is the armed struggle being waged by the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist)-CPN(M). This armed struggle in Febuary of this year marked it's first decade of struggle since the CPN(M) took up arms against the monarchial regime in 1996.

Then since the abolition of the fake capitalist 'democratic' system by the King in Febuary 2005, there has been over a year long protest movement led by the main reformist and capitalist parties such as the Nepali Congress Party (NCP), Unified Marxist Leninist Party (UMLP) and other smaller parties as well. All of these parties sat in the parliament that existed before Febuary 2005 and up until very recently, all of these parties supported a constitutional monarchy system, say along the lines of todays Britain or Sweden.

All of these parties were extremely corrupt and also need to take some responsibility for the mass killings and oppression conducted against the people in rural Nepal by the Royal Nepal Army (RNA) in the RNA's war against the CPN(M).

These parties supported the royal establishment for they too were part of the ruling class and even today, none of these parties have any revolutionary potential whatsoever.

However, the protest movement led by the ex-parliamentary parties is basically a reflection of the division of the ruling capitalist class in Nepal.

Like any capitalist ruling class, there are those sections which believe that the best way to suppress a proletarian revolution or to weaken the class struggle, is to give the people some reforms and fool them with the sham of parliamentary democracy and a few meaningless 'freedoms'.

Then on the other hand we have the reactionaries and fascists, who think such reforms and concessions will only make the people want more and thus lead to social unrest and a revolutionary situation. Therefore they advocate a openly dictatorial system to crush any signs of an emerging proletarian revolution or any signs of the class struggle.

This is exactly the division we now see in Nepal, between the King and his former allies in the main political parties.

However, over the course of the last month, even the capitalist media outlets, such as the BBC, CNN, FoxNews, CNBC, EuroNews and of course all the major capitalist newspapers, have reported on a new and very positive development in Nepal.

Those people who have led the mainly urban protest movement in the capital city and other major cities not yet under the control of the CPN(M), have now broken away from the control and organisation that was a feature of the protest movement when it was led by the main capitalist parties. As the King refuses to give any space whatsoever to the peoples demands and as the King gives orders that the police and the RNA shoot and kill people who do protest, the peoples anger has now grown to the extent that they now are starting to organise for themselves and to make demands that go way further than what the main capitalist parties have ever asked for.

Many people out on the streets of Nepal now not only shout slogans like "Death to the King" or "Abolish the monarchy", but also have told reporters that they do not trust the main parties either and that they now speak for themselves and will organise for themselves.

Thus we now see the begginings of a new social movement, born out of the struggle of the anti-monarchy movement, that trusts no other force than themselves and whilst their anger is directed at the King, they are critical and sceptical of the main parties as well.

These people remember all to well that these parties supported the monarchy when they got seats in parliament and a slice of the cake in bribe taking and corruption. These parties never relied on the people or cared for them when they were in power. The people can see that the parties are using them for their own objectives of getting back into power as the parties do not want to give the Nepali people their freedom, only they wish to become the capitalist ruling class again.

Hopefully, now we will not only see the birth of a Nepali Republic very soon, but also the birth of a new peoples movement that is not controlled by any party that wishes to use the people for their own ends, but insted the people will now struggle for themselves by themselves.

AN raises an important point: In Nepal's second election ('95 or '96), the CPN-UML won the largest number of seats and formed an anti-Congress coalition with two far-right royalist parties.

[Brownfist]

Well I think we need to be careful of that criticism because Baburam Bhattarai was also part of the parliament until 1996. I do think, and I agree with you, that these parties are reformist and corrupt but we need to look at how these parties have changed their actions since the 7 party alliance. If this had been a year ago they would have taken the King's recent offer. The parties have always believed that there were possibilities for reform. The CPN(Maoist) was formed when Baburam Bhattari and Prachanda recognized that there were no possibilities for reform left. I dont think that the parties have become more radical or revolutionary, rather they think that they can gain power through the dismantling of the monarchy. I am pretty sure that they will gain some seats in the constituent assembly because of the urban population. But, I think that the Maoists will play a huge role. As for AN's hopes that the people will organize themselves around non-party movements I think that is currently happening but will not result in a republic without party structures. Most of these mass movements do not have a proper vision of a new Nepal will likely fall in line with the constituent assembly. I am sure that some of the leaders of these movements will even join some of the parties and get elected.

Companero is right!

We need a clearly-defined vision for socialist progress, and a Party with iron discipline to build up the dictatorship of the proleteriat.

The people on their own can easily be misled by the bourgeois democratic "political parties" other than the Maoist comrades.

VICTORY TO THE NEPALESE PEOPLE!
VICTORY TO THE REVOLUTION!
LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION!
