Nepal's wartime guerrilla leader named new prime minister
www.dw.com
Pushpa Kamal Dahal, the leader of the Maoist communist party, was backed by over half of the newly elected lower house of Parliament.

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

      IIRC he went revisionist and split the maoist party into the parlimentarians and the actual revolutionaries who are threatening to do another peasant revolt if he continues being cringe

      Marxism–Leninism–Maoism–Prachanda Path

      is the ideological line of the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), also known as the UCPN(M). It is considered a development of Marxism–Leninism–Maoism (MLM) and named after the leader of the UCPN(M), Pushpa Kamal Dahal, commonly known as Prachanda.

      Prachanda Path was proclaimed in 2001. The ideology was partially inspired by the example of the Communist Party of Peru – Shining Path, which refers to its ideological line as Marxism–Leninism–Maoism–Gonzalo Thought.

        couldn't have been that heavily inspired seeing as how they didn't somehow lose a protracted people's war

      None of the Nepali "communist" parties are actually communist. Now this dude's party could be the same opportunists that stopped their PPW to enter parliament, or one of the five other parties that have "maoist" in its name
