At the time I first became interested in communism, there wasn’t very much going on to make me feel optimistic. This was the tail end of the Clinton era after all. The economic boom was still going.

I read what I could on the People’s War…Read More +

Last month, India's Maoists won a tactical offensive that led to the death of Mahendra Karma, the founder of the Salwa Judum, a government paramilitary organization infamous for routine torture, rapes, pillaging, and summary execution of tribal people suspected of sympathy with the Maoist movement. In response, Nepal's own leading counter-revolutionary, Prachanda, has issued a disgraceful and outrageous statement, grieving for the life of Mahendra Karma, and making no opposition to widespread slandering of India's Maoists with labels of "terror."…Read More +

Reports are beginning to come in from May 1 in Nepal. Kasama will share more as the develop. Special thanks to Bikkil Sthapit for sharing photos and reports.
Thousands of workers marched through Kathmandu in rallies organized by the All Nepal Revolutionary Trade Union Federation, chanting demands for 8 hours for work, 8 hours for recreation, and 8 hours for rest. The workers delivered a 25 point demand list, chanting "implement it without change."
The crowd was led by Biplab, a leading member of the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist, who then gave a speech stating that the unconstitutional coup government of Kil Raj Regmi has been attempting to brutally suppress their party, and that the sham elections are a part of that plan. Biplab said that the Maoists have heard the state is planning to deploy the police and the army if they disrupt the sham elections. "Our decision is, if they try to conduct the election without arms, we'll defy it without arms. If they use arms or armed forces, we'll do the same."

Kasama is a communist project for the forcible overthrow and transformation of all existing social conditions. We are open to learning, unafraid to admit our own uncertainties. We will not shrink from what we do know: the solutions cannot be found within the current world order or the choices it provides. We are for revolution. We seek to find the forms of organization and action for the people most dispossessed by this system to free themselves and all humanity.
To take this road, we need a fearless, open-eyed debate, discussion and engagement. We need fresh analyses of the rapid changes shaping the world around us. We need to sum up a century of revolutionary strategies and attempts, victories and defeats – instead of the conventional wisdom and facile verdicts that paralyze our movements. We need to re-imagine a radical politics that can take life among people and move mountains.
