The difference between Mao and Prachanda or BRB's Maoism have difference. In my observation, Mao tried Maoism in the search of solution and that finally was dead in 1977, the Maoism is being tried here in Nepal in the search of power. Once BRB/Prachanda are given singha durbar, they will forget the Maoism they were preaching to rural masses. Prachanda in one hand runs his rheoteric messages that he is towards communist dictatorship (I forgot his own words), but BRB frequently writes that peoples should not be scared of Maoists's policy towards Open Market, he says they are not towards destroying it and he also says he is not against other political parties. Is it a Maoism, to go with clear existence of other political parties ? Thats faking and making Girija ullu, thats it. Period. GP
