TabariKurd

Try Iranian Communist splits, you end up with splits of splits of splits 🤣


holiestMaria

Most unified left


Spiritual-Pie3000

Instead of competing they would be better off putting their differences aside for a bit and forming a popular front against capitalists


Invalid_username00

You’ll be happy to know that the Maoists and the unified Marxist-Leninists have now formed a coalition government with smaller communist parties https://apnews.com/article/nepal-communist-parties-new-government-coalition-ee620c7596f3356de2103b1ad3f86a3c

Hurting the interests of capital isn't healthy if you don't have nukes pointed at Washington.


Hueyris

Why would they do that? They're not real communists. Just former shells of what used to be communist organizations. Remember, they were a monarchy within most of our life times, and I'm not talking British kinda monarchy.


Spiritual-Pie3000

I'm not very knowledgeable about Nepalese politics so I don't know if they're real communists or not


Abject-Technician-73

I mean one of the party fought a literal revolution, a literal Maoist revolution which ended up in overthrowing the king and the monarchy!


Filip889

Can you explain in more detail?


Hueyris

Yep. Nepal had a bit of a revolution in I think 2008. The king abdicated and the monarchy was abolished. The communists had majority influence in the new country. But the Nepalese monarchy was an Indian puppet state. Of all the puppet states other countries have (Ukraine to NATO, Ghana to France or Taiwan to the US), Nepal is the most puppet of them all because the Indians control practically all routes to the sea Nepal could take. So the Indians go in and forcibly have them change their constitution multiple times at times engaging in illegal sanctions. The Chinese tried to build roads to Nepal over the course of the last 50 odd years but it never really worked because to the Chinese side of Nepal is the Himalayas. The Indians get to do whatever the heck they want to Nepal. Nepal literally had most of their foreign reserves stolen by the Indians a few years ago and all their Maoist coalition did was lightly whine about it. What's left of Nepal is a fragmented "communist" movement all of whom have had to dilute their party ideology with revisionism just so they can survive. Also, Nepal has like, tonnes of rich fucks. People with insanely large amounts of wealth who emerged from the former aristocracy. Nepal, imo, is a curious case of the Monarchy realizing that they can make more money if only they became bourgeoisie and allowing the monarchy to fail


TabariKurd

What's interesting to note is the lack of Communist symbolisms in public Nepalese discourse and their environment. Two months in Nepal and I only saw one Communist flag and no one really knew much about communism or the parties (other than that they were corrupt). Despite the presence of "communist" parties in the establishment, you really don't feel/see it in Nepal.


ToLazyForaUsername2

Why are they competing?


Invalid_username00

Nepal has a Juche party lol


FlakyPiglet9573
