Agreed although there appears to be a double standard in terms of recognized self-determination by the West in relation to Tibet; As the West is willing to 'recognize' Tibet's self-determination and allow for this but at the same time-- The West is unwilling to recognize the cultural self-determination of East Turkestan and an independent Chechnya. Thus where the role of imperialism in relation to the independence movement within Tibet blatantly is.
I agree with you about Tibet and China. And, of course, the "modernization" of Tibet by China follows the usual imperialist practices of combined and uneven development. Lhasa is becoming a modern city while the rest of the country has no healthcare.
'(Ducks before defenders of Chinese imperialism in Tibet start tossing turds.) ' I find it rather surprising that Chinese imperialism within Tibet could be sympathized with as it denies the Tibetan people their rightful self-determination and dignity in order to maintain Chinese capitalism at the cost of Tibetans in the same way that imperialism from the United States has done throughout the world.
The LLCO of course isn't the an extremely reliable due to it being MTW, however if this is true, this is the ultimate point of silliness in Nepal.
Apparently in the a Red Star issue Krishna Bahadur Mahara had some flattering comments to say relating to Juche. http://llco.org/2011/06/07/more-revi...lism%E2%80%9D/
Where? Post it?
The silliness in Nepal has managed to increase even further. Krishna Bahadur Mahara has decided to praise Juche as 'leading to Socialism.'
DAVE, I fail to understand Nepali Maoism... As it seems to be establishing 'New Democracy' more or less as a permanent system as opposed to a temporary system to overcome existing Semi-Feudalism.
