As the Unified CPN (Maoist) prepare to go on an offensive against the current government by waging a full-fledged nationwide agitation, a senior leader of the party has said that the ultimate plan of the Maoists is to "smash" the state into pieces in order to replace it with a "new state" that will be led by a proletarian party, or the Maoists.

UCPN (Maoist) vice-chairman Baburam Bhattarai further said that the Nepali Maoists have not broken away with the basic principle of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist (MLM) line which calls for eliminating the old state which is backed by the army by a new one through the "use of force".

In a lengthy interview - and very wordy, as expected from the communist leaders - with the World People's Resistance Movement (WPRM) of Britain a few days ago, Dr. Bhattarai said that by adhering to this basic principle [of MLM] the party waged armed Protracted People's War (PPW) from 1996 to 2006.

"But after 2006 we made a certain departure in our tactical line. Some people are confused about this and think we have abandoned PPW forever and adopted a peaceful path of social development," he told WPRM, which claims to work as a platform for internationalist support for Maoist movement around the world.

He said this confusion needs to be cleared.

"What we are saying is that People's War is a multifaceted war where both the armed and political form of struggle needs to be combined."

The Maoist ideologue said that the party made "certain compromises" in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) as part of the party's tactical strategy to gang up with "bourgeois democrat parties" in order to abolish the monarchy and hold the Constituent Assembly elections.

He said the former rebel party wants to now carry on the struggle forward "to complete the New Democratic Revolution", and said that keeping this in view the party has made a tactical shift "by which the major fight would be
with the bourgeois democrat parties who are backed by imperialism and the expansionist forces."

"PLA is still with us, and the arms we collected during that war are still with us within the single-key system, monitored by the United Nations team, but basically the key is with us and the army is with us and we have never surrendered," Dr Bhattarai said.

Clearly alluding to the decision of the party to divide the country into various ethnic provinces after establishing ethnic fronts, Dr Bhattarai said the Maoists are "cutting up" the state part by part, "in fact we are devouring it part by part. Ultimately we will be able to smash it and then replace it with a new state."

"What we need to practice now is the idea that the revolution never stops until all the classes are abolished, the state is abolished, the property system is abolished and we enter a classless and stateless society, or a commune of the masses of people is created," he said in the interview.

"Until that stage is reached revolution never stops. This idea of Cultural Revolution needs to be firmly grasped and we are very serious on this issue." (link of interview) nepalnews.com

Baburam was one who immediately after taking over the job of finance minister, said,'we are committed to capitalism' Now he is no more in the govt, so says stateless, property-less, state capture. This is redeculous. Now it has become certain that if his part wins the next elections, Nepalese people would be the worst victims of Maoist policies. People's propertied will be looted, every insution will be smashed and big hurdle will be created to the country's development. They have double-talk. Normal people should not vote to his party.Otherwise the country will not be in existence. When people start to suffer badly, they will ask India for annexing the country as its integral part.

Nepotism will resume as what happened during the 9 months period of the Maoists; extortion will be rampant; killings, kidnapping, threats and total chaos will be the way of life; quality of education will reduce from 10 to 1; basic necessities will be lesser and expensive; trade, industry, businesses will shut down. In short this country will definitely become a living hell. If you are in the right sense, you will not be supporting a party that aims to slaughter thousands more to fulfill their desire. Have you not read, heard or seen the repercussions of it? USSR, North Korea, China, Cambodia and other Eastern Europe? Millions died for the ideologue of the few, like Dr. Bhattarai and his gang of brothers. Do we really crave blood shed, pain and suffering?

He should be punished for all the bloodshed he's caused in Nepal in the past ten years or so. diwakar Rana   |99.246.116.xxx |2009-11-02 11:14:25 This is asurd. Dr. Bhattrai still dreams of such a rule. It is highly unfortunate that he and his party still believes inclless, propertyless and stateless strategy of Mao. In his own country these strategies dis not work. Nepalese people should be aware of this and oppose these these nepali maoists with tooth and nail. Their policy and strategy will sure ruin the country, so i call Nepali people to be aware of this.
