kropotkin said:Fucking hell: any fucking third world peasant with a gun gets a good cheerleading from people here! You understand that Maoists are essentially Stalinists, right?
DrRingDing said:Stalin and Mao had major polical differences.
err...no they're not. there's a large, yawning gap between stalinism and Maoism. mao added a huge amount to the ideological mix.kropotkin said:Fucking hell: any fucking third world peasant with a gun gets a good cheerleading from people here!

run by whom? By workers' councils? By party apparatchics?Mao wanted ulitmate control but he wanted industry to be locally run.

what do you think will happen to industry if/when the Maoists take control either through the const ituent assembly or by revolution [which will provoke invasion by india + china]? The controlled peasantry will be used to rapidly industrialise-the same story of forced labour used elsewhere.

DrRingDing said:Nepal has fuckallnatural resources except one major advantage.
It has the 2nd most amout of water in the world.
It also has the worlds highest mountains.
Brazil with the Amazon has the most water but by traditional methods of hydroelectric power it's as practicalto tap into as Nepal.
Prachanda has stated Nepal will make money flogging power to China and India.
Hydroelectric power, tourism and an increase in industry will be the future for Nepal's economy in my humble opinion.
U.S., Indian companies interested in Nepal's hydropower sector
The U.S. and Indian companies are showing interest to invest in Nepal's hydropower sector as the country is heading towards permanent peace, local media reported on Friday.
You think that Chaina (who have been funding the RNA with weapons and cash) or India (doing the same at different points in competition with China) would allow a succesful Maoist uprising in Nepal, at the risk of giving succour to their own indiginous resistance movements (Naxalites in India and...who knows what in China)?DrRingDing said:There will be no invasion by India or china.
Wanna make a small wager in the nameof the server fund or more appropriately for the war orphans of Nepal?
kropotkin said:I suspect that Prachanda knows this quite well, and it is one of the pressures towards accepting the constituent assembly as a strategy.
DrRingDing said:Just because the US supplied money , arms, logistics and training to south and middle america they did not invade.
