#1 on further note, Mao was a bastard child who destroyed his own following. China I blame, you get the obnoxious duty to say NO. Or not.

#2 In recent months, members of the hitherto unknown Young Communist League (YCL) have emerged as a crucial front organisation for the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-Maoist). While the CPN-Maoist, which has joined the Interim Government, prepares for the elections to the Constituent Assembly, its YCL affiliate engages in abduction, extortion, looting and a range of intimidatory crimes. Indeed, the YCL is now perceived as a dreaded gang with the capacity to assault any one on the street, abduct people from their homes and issue threats to people while demanding money from them.

YCL was formed by the CPN-Maoist at some point (there is no definite information on the year of its creation) during the peoples war as an affiliate to provide support and energy to the revolution. As the partys youth wing, its role was to "organise youth, be involved in events, conduct political awareness, and take part in development work as volunteers." Once the CPN-Maoist was proscribed, the YCL was also forced to go underground. After the April 2006 Jana Andolan (Peoples Movement) and the subsequent over-ground role of the insurgents, the CPN-Maoist decided to revive the YCL.

Ganeshman Pun, chairman of the YCL, reveals that the League was reactivated in November 2006. According to him, the YCL "is a fusion of the Partys military and political character, and it is composed of PLA members who have an interest in politics."

Trying to make the envoy feel at home, like military recruiters at a California university.
