The most compelling and harrowing blunder the political parties (which was/were in power then) made during handling of Maoist problem (since the pre-insurgency period) made was the fact that many of social and political agendas that the Maoist tried to bring to the wide and comprehensive debate in the wide audience of Nepali politics were very realistic and pressing whuch no other political forces in the countries ever had any heart and determination to do. Out of the 40 Points demands submitted by the Maoists during Pre-insurgency peroid was at least 6 of them were hard-core communist agendas which I dont find it realistic, pactically possible and not in the wide and long term interest of the country at all, which were: 6) The monopoly of foreign capital in Nepal's industry, trade and economic sector should be stopped. ### My comment: Nepal does not have huge sums to invest in its economy and certainly it's undesirable reality that Nepal has to rely in foreign investment and Nepal has to live with. Investors who invest will certainly have some influence and it's the reality in every country in the world. Investors will go to other countries where they will if they dont get it in Nepal. 27) Those who cultivates the land should own it. (The tiller should have right to the soil he/she tills.) The land of rich landlords should be confiscated and distributed to the homeless and others who have no land. ### My comment: Landowner and tiller have relationship of Landllord and tenant who rented a house to run his own business. Tenant cant claim on landlord's home just because he has rented landlord's home to run his own business. 29) All should be guaranteed work and should be given a stipend until jobs are found for them. ### My comment: No country in the world has ever achieved this goal. Even the most hardcore communist countries in the past and the present have tried and failed miserably. It's the responsibility of each individual to find job for himself/herself and it is not the responsiblility the government to find job for each individual citizen though the government can greatly help create favourable ecomonic conditions for businesses and industries to get started, grow and expand which will have direct positive effect on employment opportunities to individuals. 32) Poor farmers should be completely freed from debt. Loans from the Agricultural Development Bank by poor farmers should be completely written off. ### My comment: If the ADB frees all bebt of so many farmers from where will ABD get money to provide loans to the same farmers in the future.This will lead to bankruptcy of the very insititution that provides the loan to the farmers. It wont be in the interest of the same farmers to kill the institution that provides loan when needed. 8) The cultural pollution of imperialists and expansionists should be stopped. Hindi video, cinema, and all kinds of such news papers and magazines should be completely stopped. Inside Nepal, import and distribution of vulgar Hindi films, video cassettes and magazines should be stopped. ### My comment: People will get such materials anyhow and the total human and financial cost of enforcing any related laws will be astronomical. Instead let it be legal and impose tax on such material and make these material a source of revenue for the government. 9) Regarding NGOs and INGOs: Bribing by imperialists and expansionists in the name of NGOs and INGOs should be stopped. ### My comment: Certainly there are many NGOs and INGOS that are established with intent of making money in the name of social services however banning of all NGOs and INGOs will certainly curtail useful and sincere INGOs and NGOs as well. 28) Brokers and commission agents should have their property confiscated and that money should be invested in industry. ### My comment: There will be commission agents and brokers in economy of every country and provide their service in every sector economy which always have been intergral part of economy of every prosperous economy. 35) Education and education for profit (private schools?) should be completely stopped. ### My comment: Pulic should be able to choose which type (public or private) schools should each individuals can go or can send their children to.
