"Hang the King!" They Chant
King Gyanendra has said that he would restore "democracy" in Nepal, and wants peacen in Nepal. It seems hallow, the Communist Party of Nepal (United Marxist-Leninists) [CPN (UML], one of the major parties in the Seven Party Aliance (SPA) has already rejected the kings offer on the basis that it leaves out the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) [CPN (M)] from the process, and it does not concern itself with the twelve point agreement made with the SPA and CPN (M). The Constituent Assembly seems to be the only thing the SPA wants, and this will mean the end of the Feudal Dictator, King Gyanendra. It will soon be the end of the King, and perhaps the Constituent Assembly wil
l lead to a New Democratic State. Prachanda and Dr. Bhuttari (spelling?) have been leading a new break, I think what this is leading to...above all is national liberation and democratic soverignty of the people. And perhaps we will see a new Maoist state that will allow for multi-party democracy under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Maybe this is the new "People's Democratic Dictatorship" to quote Mao. It is hard to say, but what is indeed clear is that the SPA and CPN (M) on the basis of the 12 point agreement, is bound for victory.Long Live the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist)! Uphold the 12 Point Agreement and Democracy for the People!

I've never been so excited. What could have the rejuvinating effect on the international communist movement more than the declaration of a new socialist country - the People's Republic of Nepal!

Well, I am a bit less optimistic. The revolutionary forces could succeed, but obviously with the King's returning of parliamentary democracy (on the U.S.'s instistance) the people of Nepal might be thrown off.
We will all have to learn from this either way.
