As someone mentioned Commies are good at selling sublime dreams to the poor. But then that is all they are good at - selling dreams! After all, the majority of the North Koreans do believe that they live in the best country in the world! I can see why Maoists' rhetoric strikes a chord among the poor. But its the capitalism and free market economy that is going to bring the poor out of poverty, not socialism/communism. Many countries in the past experimented with communism with disastrous results. It's been proven that communism is an antidote to prosperity and progress. Now which part of that sentence do you Prachanda fans don't understand? Some of you say he is visionary, how so? His vision for Nepal is going push us back to stone age. We'll all be tilling the field but we will still starve. That's what his visions are. He talks about advancing Nepal - but how is it possible to do so with his obsolete and absurd policies? He and his gang need to read 'Capitalism and Free Market Economy for Dummies'. He sipmply does not have the tools to deliver. In his recent interview he said that he would bring a bloody war to Kathmandu if all his demands are not met likening it to the October revolution in Russia in 1917. This is a guy who wants to establish his rule through mass murder. No one with half the brain would support a man like this.
