None of you anyway, since you don't really know what it is.

quote: Originally posted by Giancarlo Easy. Give the Nepalese Military tons and tons of guns. Hands off approach. But I hate the absolute monarch in Nepal, as well as the rebels. I don't see anything good coming out of this. I think the King will crush the rebels no problem (cause the Nepalese military is far stronger then the Maoists and is actually receiving international support), but both sides really suck. I don't really see much economic potential in Nepal. If this country had oil, then I would truly care.

So you can label them terrorists and invade them later?

quote: Originally posted by chegitz guevara Maoism is a type of Stalinism, which, like Trotskyism, is a type of Leninism. Maoists argue two different things. In the 3rd world, they argue that the proletariat is too weak to carry out the task of overthrowing capitalism, and that only the peasantry can make the revolution.

Yes, Mao did theorise that. Though my understanding is the peasantry would be needed to form the backbone of revolution, to be led by the proletariat. In fact, IIRC, he maintained 3rd world countries such as China could not a communist country overnight, and the revolution should be a socialist one instead of a communist one.

I though Maoism was more of a military and economic strategy. That's all I knew.

In some sense, yes. It's all based on the fudamental belief that the proletariat is too weak in 3rd world countries. That's why Mao developed "liberated areas" encompassing large rural areas, where socialist reforms were carried out. For example, land reforms took land away from landlords and rich farmers to distribute among poor peasants. This was a critial step because it really boosted productivity.
