Nah !! It is corruption that led the insurgency, not just fueled it. Poor kept getting poorer and the rich kept getting richer. Communist Ideology is Power to the poor. But these fukin Mao's are exploiting them. They threaten them if they don't agree. Looting & stealing ? The question you have to ask yourself is," What is maoist commies grass root support ? Where do they get their bread and butter ? Remember you need $$$ to run an army. You have to look at the BIG PICTURE not just the trouble at hand.
