The solidarity with the Nepalese people is a revolutionary duty to be raised all over the world. The Nepalese revolutionaries and the Nepalese people face the duty to supply the people of the world with their experiences of the struggle and to support the revolutionary periods developing in other countries. The democratic revolution continuing in Nepal is strengthening our hope.

The revolutionary struggle, which with the overthrow of the monarchy reached its peak organised by the Nepalese people and led by the NCP (M), advances under difficult conditions. In Nepal, the class struggle continues with all severity. The Nepalese bourgeoisie's interests have been the same with the interests of US imperialism and India for decades. This is why the Nepalese bourgeoisie, with the support and encouragement of US imperialism, tries to limit the initiative of the Maoist revolutionaries in the democratic revolution period, and to hinder that this process will go beyond the overthrow of the monarchy and also have an impact on them. Although the Nepalese bourgeoisie wants to complete the period without harming its own status quo, the victories of the Maoists including the elections make these efforts every time be for nothing. The class struggle in Nepal is currently mainly dealing with the most complicated topics such as the preparation of the new constitution and the establishment of the army.
The Nepalese people did not win their victories only by fighting against the reactionary royal army and by revealing the double game of the Nepalese bourgeoisie. US imperialism and Indian expansionism supported the monarchy a lot and made use of every way in order to hinder the democratic revolution in Nepal.
The attacks of the imperialist forces on the Nepalese revolution have not happened only for reasons of their interests in the region or the strategic water sources of Nepal. The most important blow struck by the Nepali revolution to imperialism and its biggest quality from the point of view of those exploited and oppressed worldwide is first of all the burst of the bubble that armed revolutions can't reach victory anymore and that this era is over. The democratic revolution process in Nepal has shown that the armed enemy can only be beaten by arms. While with the power of armed mass violence our Nepalese revolutionary friends have imposed their own will on the enemy, they did not hesitate to seek a rich and creative policy of alliance and diplomacy. The Comprehensive Peace Agreement was the most determinant of the blows.
While the imperialist bourgeoisie is looking for arguments for its Eurasian strategy by using the thesis on the war of civilisations, while provoking barbaric wars with the claim that "supplying the barbaric and reactionary Eastern people with the virtue of Western civilisations such as freedom and democracy", the Nepalese people led by the Maoist revolutionaries sent the reactionary monarchy with their arms to the dustbin of history. The biggest supporter of the Nepalese monarchy, that is one of the symbols of reaction in Asia, was US imperialism, which is talking of civilisation.
The revolutionary struggle of the Nepalese people has already achieved important results: the monarchy was overthrown, the unitary state structure was given an end and the way opened for all nations and communities in the country to live together fraternally in a federative republic. Now the Nepalese people and Maoist revolutionaries have put in front of them the duty to defend these achievements and to advance the democratic revolution by liquidating the remnants of feudalism and by populist turnovers. The fact, that the NCP (M) defines the opinion that the process of revolution in Nepal already concluded as "the biggest danger and right opportunist deviation" also shows that they will continue to show their will also in this aspect.
The democratic revolution continuing in Nepal, the resistances led by the Iraqi people in the Middle East, by the Palestinian people against Zionism and the Kurdish people against the colonialist fascism, the anti-imperialist struggles rising in Latin America and anti-imperialist, populist governments such as Chavez and Morales are part of the resistances of the workers and labourers against neo-liberal politics all over the world. Among all these struggles, the example of Nepal has a special meaning in terms of the practice of an overthrow of the rulership by armed force.
With this post won in Nepal, the progressive, revolutionary and communist forces must care about it with the point of view of solidarity, defence and learning from the experiences. The solidarity with the Nepalese people is a revolutionary duty to be raised all over the world. The Nepalese revolutionaries and the Nepalese people face the duty to supply the people of the world with their experiences of the struggle and to support the revolutionary periods developing in other countries.
The democratic revolution continuing in Nepal is strengthening our hope.
