On the 4th of September in Nepal a large number of young people protested against the social-media censorship that was enacted by the corrupt state. Apps like Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, Twitter and others were banned by the government. Over 50 People were killed by the Nepalese State during the peaceful protests. The so-called Nepalese Gen-Z protests then turned into a protest not only against the social-media censorship but also against corruption and inequality. The youth that united themselves for the end of corruption and inequality started to destroy and beat the bourgeois politicians ruling Nepal. On the 9th of September, the youth protesters burned down the federal parliament building of Nepal. The bourgeois state was losing to the proletariat that fully outnumbered them. Many politicians in Nepal resigned from their position and fled the country. A large problem of this spontaneous uprising is the lack of any guiding party organization that could lead to the fizzling out of the movement unless a revolutionary party organization takes advantage of this situation.
What does the Maoist Students Collective support inside these Nepalese protests?
We as anti-revisionists support the Communist Party of Nepal and the Revolutionary Communist Party of Nepal because of their potential for fighting against the bourgeoisie and the state together with the workers and peasants for a socialist, stable, and anti-revisionist Nepal held together by the revolutionary masses. Though the RCPN initially failed to develop an independent line and had talks of rejoining the CPN(MC) they still have potential as a revolutionary force, however the CPN has come further in the revolutionary line than the RCPN so we must give them more of our support as the leading revolutionary force in Nepal. The ,,Communist Party of Nepal (United Marxist-Leninist)'' has failed to attempt any revolutionary activity as they are not Marxists-Leninists but they are revisionists and chauvinists engaging in corruption and banning social-media apps, same with the ,,Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre)'' which claims to follow Marxism-Leninism-Maoism but really only cares about maintaining the existing parliamentarianism of the current state.
Many anti-communists have claimed that modern-day Nepal would be ,,communist'' which is not true. The revisionists have a high status inside the parliament and the State but they are not Communists, they have no interest in the Dictatorship of the Proletariat and they would rather fight against any real revolutionaries.
We urge the RCPN and the CPN or any revolutionary proletarian organization in Nepal to take full advantage of this situation and lead the revolutionary masses in establishing the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Workers of the world, unite!
