Considering this is Nepal, I’m expecting this to last 5 months before another split occurs in the communist parties and he’s replaced by another communist

Nepal is underdiscussed on the left, given the prominence and electoral success of communists there.
i mean they had a pretty whacky left wing revolution prior to this. i dont know why they didnt just make their own government but theyre doing the parliamentary thing i guess :shrug-outta-hecks:
What happened?
iirc they did the whole surrounding cities from the countryside and took an early deal to be allowed into government where they won a massive electoral victory. they then deposed the monarchy through the parliamentary system. they were mostly fighting cops and were worried about fighting the army afaik so it wasnt a full scale civil war with a complete win for either side. as part of the peace agreement the guerilla forces were incorporated into the state military and were given immunity to firings and imprisonment iirc
as a result there are a lot of libs in the government and full control of the communist parties was avoided and theyre stuck in a gridlock. i wouldnt be surprised if there is a second revolution. i guess the reason they took the early deal is they were worried of a long term deadly civil war with the military and wanted the quick win

Ah, the classic Maoist guerilla fighter to PMC Karen pipeline.

Fuck that is smart, like god damn
:thinking-about-it:
For real though, great way to begin slowly purging the ranks and ensuring you have dudes that can have easy access to mortars if the previous military gets uppity and ya need to tell them to settle the fuck down.
