Hey Jeffali!!
      Let me make myself clear on my stand ..... I am an communist not maoist........
All forms of communism that we know in Nepal from UML to Maoism are not at even close to the dictative communism that US depicts..... Communism is a philosophy which aspires working class people, suppressed people to come together and strive for the upheavel of the society. It isn't necessary to have one party dictator government for communism.  Communism is not the set of rules, its a philosophy..... it should be set more relevant to the society ....... It can be and has been modified in the past in different communist countries to make the government more democratic and friendly to the social structure of  the country, basically sticking with the fundamental communist principle i.e. upheaval of the community.
     Communism in Nepal is more like democrates in USA or liberals in Europe who believe in government's direct role in the economy of the country (it is different that taking control of Econony).......... But what made nepal's maoist, a communist,  is the way they got the power that is by engaging in a direct guirella revolution or people's revolution......
    Moaist should have to be nuts to try to make nepal  next cuba or china.....I believe that they would make strict punitive laws against corruption, women trafficking and hooliganisms. It would some extend limits the privileges of corrupt and antisocial people.
 I believe they are more democratic............ than the democracy of past couple of decade that we always bragged about....... At least there democracy is enjoyed by all irrespective of caste or region or economic status..... Unlike current democracy  which favors landlords, upper caste people and enslaves the poor.
                 It may be hard to believe for you but things aren't  not as wonderful as you think they were in Nepal..... People of lower caste are still not allowed to use same water source just outside valley and there are still enslaved kamaiyas and madhesi's representation in government job is almost nil. .....
                               I won't say it would all change at once..... Nepalese gave chance to other parties before and they all failed to meet the expectation ....truely speaking, they weren't even close.....Somehow those parties succeeded to get votes in the second election also..... But finally people  showed that they are not gullible and have gave their verdict ........ they want change..... and they know only maoist can bring  that change.....
