Nepal (Kathmandu)

Has anyone noticed the flags the pro democracy protesters have been flying in Kathmandu. There red flags with hammer and sickles on them which the western press has tried to avoid mentioning!

Lets hope the comrades there have a sucessful revoloution and dispose of there tyrant king!

"Rise up all victims of oppresion
for the tyrants fear your might"

I was watching finnish news and they did show protestors with red flags walking on streets, not hammer and sickle on them though.

most Western media: "Where is Nepal?"

Sorry Comrade Red Rebel for my geographical mistake. Also those are exactly the kind of soviet clichés I and everyone here should be avoiding! After all, what does it matter where you live we all have different ideologies!

End the vanity of nations,
We've but one Earth on which to live

The hammer and sickle flag is the flag of the so-called Communist Party of Nepal (United Marxist Leninist). Ironically, due to the peculiarities of Nepalese politics, they are not really a communist party (kind of like the Czech Communist Party). All parties in Nepal pay lip service to socialism. Its jus the way it is. The revolutionary forces are behind the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist).

No, thats only the US media saying that.

Well Nepal is pretty well known in west I would guess, becouse it has great tourism buisness.

Wait just a moment. First of all they are installing multiparty system there(ofcourse it is different thing are the people behind it, after all maybe they wan't to isntall peoples democracy not burgouse democracy). Second of all there is peoples war still going, some sources claim that maoist(or stalinist if you prefer)-guerillas control over 80% of Nepals soil. So if you are trotskyist you should start fight against those evil maoist who try to take control of Nepal, not sing internationale and celebrate for them.

What I was saying was that it would be hard for American (espically) media doesn't even mention Nepal so it would be hard to talk hammer and sickles when they don't even mention the turmoil in that country. You made no error to apologize for.

Agreed.

No, that's what a stereotypical trotskyist would do. To do that would be undermining an attempt at socialism and would therefore be a reactionary thing to do. The best trotskyists are those who do not fit the stereotype and would work with or at least wish well other socialists who do not call themselves trotskyists.
