Considering this is Nepal, I’m expecting this to last 5 months before another split occurs in the communist parties and he’s replaced by another communist
Nepal is underdiscussed on the left, given the prominence and electoral success of communists there.
i mean they had a pretty whacky left wing revolution prior to this. i dont know why they didnt just make their own government but theyre doing the parliamentary thing i guess :shrug-outta-hecks:
iirc they did the whole surrounding cities from the countryside and took an early deal to be allowed into government where they won a massive electoral victory. they then deposed the monarchy through the parliamentary system. they were mostly fighting cops and were worried about fighting the army afaik so it wasnt a full scale civil war with a complete win for either side. as part of the peace agreement the guerilla forces were incorporated into the state military and were given immunity to firings and imprisonment iirc
as a result there are a lot of libs in the government and full control of the communist parties was avoided and theyre stuck in a gridlock. i wouldnt be surprised if there is a second revolution. i guess the reason they took the early deal is they were worried of a long term deadly civil war with the military and wanted the quick win
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
Nepal only became communist because in 2001 the royal family was killed in a mass shooting perpetrated by the king and queen’s son. That shit would be like if Prince Andrew became king because he killed Charles, Henry, Megan, and the kids after a headed argument over dinner.
IIRC he went revisionist and split the maoist party into the parlimentarians and the actual revolutionaries who are threatening to do another peasant revolt if he continues being cringe
Marxism–Leninism–Maoism–Prachanda Path
is the ideological line of the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), also known as the UCPN(M). It is considered a development of Marxism–Leninism–Maoism (MLM) and named after the leader of the UCPN(M), Pushpa Kamal Dahal, commonly known as Prachanda.
Prachanda Path was proclaimed in 2001. The ideology was partially inspired by the example of the Communist Party of Peru – Shining Path, which refers to its ideological line as Marxism–Leninism–Maoism–Gonzalo Thought.
