Has anyone here read prachandapath or knows where a copy of it is.  I want to know dahal’s view on economic development of the country.  My understanding is that maoism and capitalism are opposite poles, but dahal has at times promised capitalism in the country.  The die hard mao cadres (at least the ones I encountered) thought “anti-capitalism” was the true answer to poor nepalese's woes.  How can dahal even talk about capitalism when his entire movement and people’s mandate is based on “anti – capitalist” commune society?  Now am I missing something here or are we witnessing the age old nepali tradition of  getting into power by making false promises?
