PLA
is still with us, and the arms we collected during that war are still
with us within the single-key system, monitored by the United Nations
team, but basically the key is with us and the army is with us. - Dr Bhattarai

I guess too much fuss about "Nagarik Sarbochhata"




"But after 2006 we made a certain departure in our tactical line. Some
people are confused about this and think we have abandoned PPW forever
and adopted a peaceful path of social development," he told WPRM, which
claims to work as a platform for internationalist support for Maoist
movement around the world.

He said this confusion needs to be cleared.

"What
we are saying is that People's War is a multifaceted war where both the
armed and political form of struggle needs to be combined."

The
Maoist ideologue said that the party made "certain compromises" in the
Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) as part of the party's tactical
strategy to gang up with "bourgeois democrat parties" in order to
abolish the monarchy and hold the Constituent Assembly elections.

He
said the former rebel party wants to now carry on the struggle forward
"to complete the New Democratic Revolution", and said that keeping this
in view the party has made a tactical shift "by which the major fight
would be
with the bourgeois democrat parties who are backed by imperialism and the expansionist forces."

"PLA
is still with us, and the arms we collected during that war are still
with us within the single-key system, monitored by the United Nations
team, but basically the key is with us and the army is with us and we
have never surrendered," Dr Bhattarai said.

Clearly alluding to
the decision of the party to divide the country into various ethnic
provinces after establishing ethnic fronts, Dr Bhattarai said the
Maoists are "cutting up" the state part by part, "in fact we are
devouring it part by part. Ultimately we will be able to smash it and
then replace it with a new state."

"What we need to practice now
is the idea that the revolution never stops until all the classes are
abolished, the state is abolished, the property system is abolished and
we enter a classless and stateless society, or a commune of the masses
of people is created," he said in the interview.

"Until that
stage is reached revolution never stops. This idea of Cultural
Revolution needs to be firmly grasped and we are very serious on this
issue."
