Let me start by saying: Communism does not work.
This so called people's war propagated by you and your party since 1996 has made situation in Nepal no better than before. In fact, it is worse. Okay, things were not good. The inequality. Brahminism. Nepotism. Favouritism. Institutional corruption. The list goes on.
I know the frustration of underclass because that is where I come from. I come from the so called "untouchable caste" with unimaginable injustice from the institutions and society. I was angry. I was frustrated. I even thought communist ideology is a solace for social underclass. Communism gives kind of illusion of equality and opportunity but alas! It was realty. Look at the history?.saying goes man should learn from history and experience but you people don't seem to learn from it at all.
Look at former Soviet Russia and former Eastern European countries. Whatever happened to all the people's power and its so called promise to bring all the people bread and happiness? All lies, beautiful lies but lies none the less.
Communist literatures are lullaby to the ears of uneducated and poor people. You have sung it well. They are asleep now. Or even in trance where it is possible for them to kill their next door neighbour without the sense of guilt and human conscience.
Never before had I thought that people can go so low. You guys are jealous of other people's riches, other people's prosperity, and other people's intelligence. You can't get rich by killing other people with intelligence to create wealth.
You can't make all the people equally rich.
Your strategy actually makes all the people poor EQUALLY.
Equality of poverty is not sign of affluence. It is only lack of it. Even if you succeed to kill all rich people in the whole country, believe me you won't bring happiness to the heart and minds of your own people. I know one thing for sure that is if there is even an inkling of intelligence left in your people's conscience after you take over the government, there will be a deep frustration... bigger frustration than that you have now.. because now you have at least a hope that one day you will have all that things that you are struggling for. But then there will come a bigger surprise that all that all that, this so called people revolution had promised hasn't happened. And people will start to rebel. Then if cunning people in power will start the strategy of espionage. Nightmare of big brother watching over everyone. Where everyone is perpetual fear of being prosecuted by the whim of governing bodies. North Korea, former Soviet Union is the prime example of this.
Your party says they are inspired by the vision of Chinese leader Mao Tse Tung, but it's completely laughable because you people don't seem to observe current politics and trends of global economy. China itself has come long way away from Mao Tse Tung's red book ... Don't you see that Chinese economy heavily relies on your so called western imperialists' money and market. It's progress does not rely on Mao's vision but new leaders like Deng Xioa Ping and others who seem more liberal than narrow minded Mao. Well, guess what Gun does not bring revolution. There are swifter ways than that. You want to win the people and their respect, and then you have to win their hearts and mind. Otherwise people will fear you and not love you or respect you from their heart.
There has been a trend from your party for "Nepal Bandh". You guys delude yourself that every time you succeed, it's not because of majority of people support you but because they fear you. What you guys are doing is THUG CULTURE, BULLYING. It's the lowest strategy to win people.
I am from poor family. I am from underclass, branded untouchable by culture of thousands of years and I don't think in any circumstances it is right, this antiquated system.....but in no way I will kill my next door neighbour, my village people, people that I grew up with, because they have more money or they are from higher cast. I will fight the injustice, I am not pacifist but there are creative ways to do things too.
Your party says they represent the poor, proletarians and underclass, well I am all of that and I don't support your kind of fight..your brutality. Don't kill and continue to destroy what little we have in our poor country in my name. You do not represent me. F*** Mao and his lot, no more bloodshed in the name of that bald head crazy and communism.
Why do you want everybody to be equal? What's so good about that? I completely support the equal opportunity in social, economical, political and in all fields of life and I think new generations are aware of that too. I want to have right to be unique and unequal. But I won't trample on to anybody to be just like me otherwise I kill you..kind of attitude. Wake up! you sleepy heads!! World has gone far beyond.
Its also time for people with money and power to revaluate their values and extend hands towards people with less opportunity..give them hand. Don't just hoard for yourself because that eventually lead to extremism that we are seeing today in Nepal. People in government.. beware. How you handle things? You want to win this war against Maoist then do something that will win the heart of people. That way you will win.
Now, the truth is Maoist and government are feeding off each other. It's like McCarthy period in America. Both of them are propagating paranoia, constant state of trembling fear, espionage and killing and more killing.
What our country needs is better education, health and social system NOT guns and bullets.
More development in commerce and economics NOT fight.
We want security for our children to grow in trust and love NOT bloodshed and paranoia.
I don't know if anybody will listen to my plea.
I say: ALL INTELLIGENT NEPALESE PEOPLE UNITE. BECAUSE WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT THIS PAIN IN NECK MAOIST AND CRAZY GOVERNMENT AND WE HAVE EVERYTHING TO GAIN THAT IS BEAUTIFUL, PROSPEROUS AND SECURITY AMONG US.
What is on offer is: DEATH, HATE AND TEARS.
What we need is: LIFE, LOVE AND LAUGHTER.
