#1 Maoists?

Honest to GOON-ness Maoists?

I didn't believe any of those existed outside of US universities campuses amongst the social science faculty.

#2 Honest to goon-ness maoists... and not the make believe campus type either... these maoists are quite serious about the need to "eradicate class enemies" They idolize the khmer rouge, claiming that the western propaganda has unfairly tarnished the name of Pol Pot and his henchmen.

They're gonna be writing the new Nepal constitution... that will be an interesting document...

I figure ten years of butchery before the Indian army is forced to invade...

#8 We can hope OldSpook was being sarcastic, chomolangma. There have been articles here for several years about the interactions between Nepal's Maoists, the king, and the Nepalese people. I've a friend who went there for several summers after he graduated from medical school, as part of a travelling eye clinic. He had only good things to say about the locals he met over there.

I admit my knowledge is quite limited, though.
