Nepalese Monarchy scrapped?!?!

Have any of you heard the news about Nepal: their monarchy is about to be DONE AWAY WITH, only to placate the Nepalese Maoists, so they can re-join the coalition government... End of Nepal monarchy - or trouble? :...:

Frankly, this concerns me: if they take hold of the government, and they set up a regime like that in China, then what will happen to those Tibetans still living in Nepal?!?! Will they be exported back to the People's Republic of China?!?! That would be TRAGIC!!!!

Here's another URL: Vote to abolish Nepal's monarchy...

From what I read, I think it is going to be a government run in the fashion of a federalist republic-democracy, not a fundamentalist Mao regime. Isn't that what the news site said?

Pretty sure you got that right. The Maoists don't have enough support to form a government on their own and there is a coalition against them, but thats all I remember about this situation.

You're like 4 months off with this thread.

Yes, the maoists led the charge to shake off the restraints of reaction...why are you not welcoming this? The people were stuck under a monarchy, are still stuck in feudal and chiefly agrarian conditions, and the only way out is to support the maoists who hold high the banners of true progress.

I do believe they are doing an excellent thing and I hope they keep up on their promises, which they have for quite a while. Also, the Maoists are largely supported, and Prachanda is the prime minister and just last week I heard that they formally recognized transexuals, and this is amidst outcries that they thought of gays as a "capitalist pollutant".

Really, are you that afraid of a small country such as Nepal turning towards socialism, and in a totally legitimate way?

I have a feeling that the entire international community is afraid that typical communist-style totalitarianism will come into existence.

Oh great, would that mean another one hundred years of 1984 and Animal Farm in school?

And no, I have good feelings about Nepal. If they wanted to exercise an extreme dictatorship they were in the position to do so. They dropped arms and joined the government, so how in the world can you consider that evil?
