From NepaliTimes.com: But then it is not really about wages, is it? It is about control and extortion.

When asked about the violent and brash behaviour of his foot soldiers, Finance Minister Baburam Bhattarai actually replied that a planned chaos was necessary to wrest control of the state. That wasn't a slip of the tongue. It is looking more and more like the game plan is to unleash anarchy for forcible state capture.

What are Maoists doing:

1. They are buying all major businesses. They have looted money.

2. They are buying hospitals, and forcing Banks to finance their purchases. They don't need any money in pocket. They need is the YCL / Maoist suffixes. Who dares not to finance YCL and Maoists?

3. Any biz that is in trouble, they will take over.

4. Any biz that has too much loan from Bank or financing company, then it is transferred to YCL and Maoists. The YCL and Maoists approach the biz house, then they ask the owner to take it to the Bank, and they forcebank to excuse all interests, and force the owner to transfer the share equivalent to the interests on the loan to YCL / Maoist (those who helped to transfer that loan ...) name.

5. Any biz that has not paid TAX for some reason, are forced to offer share in their biz equivalent to the TAX they did not pay.

6. They are transfering government resources in the name of supporting companies which they own. Recent example is the one crore rupees to the hospital the Maoists own. The Bir Hospital was always having lack of public funding, but Maoists are providing support to the companies they own.

So who is more corrupt?
