i think no one here has to educate prachanda, baburam et. al. the most simple lesson of life these days that "communist does not work". agree with you that education is a must. but realization and respect of the individual responsibility is even more imperative. how many times you have seen grauduate students from TC, ASCOL and some other institutions engaging themselves in vandalising vehicles, private and government properties? are they not educated enough to understand a simple democratic procedure? for a democratic enviroment to flourish, it is absoultely critical that everyone remain within their periphery of ethics and responsibilty. we need a fear factor. if that is to come from gun then hell yeah! go for it. the other thing is, its a revolution. don't juxtapose nepal with US or soviet union or china for that matter. we can set a different league. all we need is a confidence and realization. we can be a communist state yet be different from a monolitic communist states. name does not matter.
