dc girl, i finally found the defination of feudual and feudolism, and i think i got a little of your concept. dont get mad, i was just trying to know the real meaning of semi-feudal society, and why is it a good idea for nepal to move towards socialism?? i am just a little knoleged person, it wud be rather good if you expand it so i can understand.. and btw, this quote is from CPN Maobadi's website, and your views to match very much... "With the clarion call of 'it is right to rebel' the Party on that day led the masses all over the country to rebel against the reactionary state and direct their ire against the ruling feudal and comprador & bureaucratic capitalist classes so as to smash the existing semi-feudal & semi-colonial state and build a people's New Democratic state. In a preplanned clandestine move selected targets of police out-posts, state-owned agricultural development bank office, factory of a multi-national company, brewery of a comprador bourgeois and premises of a local feudal-usurer were systematically attacked and properties thereof seized, as a symbol of rebellion and to herald the initiation of the people's war on that day. Together with these, hundreds of thousands of revolutionary leaflets & posters were distributed throughout the country to spread the political message of the historical rebellion among the general masses of the people the same day."
