Anti you are right that not all Republicans are Maoist. But unfortunately the republican tag line is taken for now and the perception is overbearingly in favor of "Maoist=Republican demand." This is something that will have to change over time. It is an unfortunate consequence of the shotsighted nature of the political parites during the 1990 aandolan. It is even more unfortunate that because of this, instead of being seen as an alternative, the republican demand is perceived suspiciously by many as being an admission that the Maoist tyranny is justified - that terrorizing the populace into submission is ok, as long as everyone equally enjoys the benefits of a republican setup down the road. But, given your own writing, I would like you to consider the following - if all republicans are not maoists, are all constitutional monarchists, right-wing fanatics?
