Russian revolution in Nepal

[che_diwas]

Hey comrades...

Good to be back ...

Well all of you know that the Maoists of Nepal have shown their strength both through arms and massive rallies...
I am very proud to be one of the millions who took part in it...
It was so huge that there was no place to move sideways...

Well the Maoists are saying that the people have finished the phase of October revolution has been established and the country is heading towards the February revolution... and they are trying to do that in a peaceful way through the process of constituent assembly.

But there might be some feudalistic cliques might trying to interfere the peace process... if that happens then they say that the february revolution will happen the Russian way. And if that happens then there will be more loss for Nepal.

What are your opinions on this one? Is it possible to establish the February Revolution through constituent assembly?

In my view Nepal needs a mixed economy... there are sectors like medical, education which should be nationalized and there are sectors like media which should be privatized.

Nothing should be privitaizied, but capitalism will persit in some sector's. Worker's control will persit in some, and state ownership will.

But fuuedilism will be dead. Obviously october has not happened yet cuz the prolatariat dosent rule yet.

I think that Nepal still needs quite a lot more technological advancement and development to go. The people seem to be very politically conscious but this has been more due to the dictatorship of the king than anything else. Therefore, the people and the workers need more time to develop this consciousness as Nepal develops and the capitalist system grows especially since areas of Nepal are still in feudal times.

I believe that the Maoists want the constituent assembly as they state that multiparty democracy must take place before socialism. So whether or not they will continue the people's war or take part in the parliamentary process will have to be answered by one of them.

This is not 1917 and we are not in Russia. Get over that.

As historical comparisons go this one needs a lot of work. Nepal has no industrialised core to drive any revolution - there is no proletariat to speak of. Relatively speaking Russia 1917 was considerably more advanced than Nepal today. We have not seen the formation of soviets or worker councils or any other sign that worker control may be possible.

[Marx_was_right!]

Nepal is Russia? I'm not sure there are any soviets as Comradom says. I'm not really a Maoist but I support any progression. Their king must really go the way of the Romanoffs if we are to see this though.

? I think you might have history backwards here.

The February revolution in Russia happened before the October Revolution, in which the Bolsheviks seized power.


If I'm misinterpreting what you're saying, than ignore that.

Another Soviet nightmare will never happen again because we have the benefits of history and we can change aspects of the revoltuion that went wrong.

Since this discussion is about Nepal I take it your comment is on Nepal. Maybe we, as in non-authoritarian Communists, have learnt the lessons of Stalin but the Maoists in Nepal could well lead to just another bureaucratic form of state capitalism. I hope the Maoists in Nepal can create some sort of agrarian communist society in Nepal with political liberties but they would need the support of the workers in the cities first.
