Obviously you haven’t seen Children of Mao perform some hideously nationalistic song and dance routine then?!

Dust will accumulate if a room is not cleaned regularly, our faces will get dirty if they are not washed regularly. It is about time that I reflect soberly and critically on my deeds, that I free myself from the burden of them and turn my face to my contemporaries who ‘don’t get it’.

My guilt is based on an incorrect and distorted idea, i.e. Maoman. I admit my guilt fully and completely, and condemn decisively all my activities that have harmed my motherland. If I can be forgiven for all of this, I will engage all my strength to do penance for my guilt before the people.

Jay Nepal!

(with further apologies to Grandpa Mao and Zinoviya Franko)

Fugg, tough crowd! Since when did the Nepali masses start developing sophisticated taste for humor, or politics for that matter? Or is it all about DEMANDS now?

Well, carry another ‘Bandh’ because Samudaya failed to tickle your funny bone, or if it annoyed you more often than not.

13 | The rising and shining of the New Nepal:

The class-conscious proletarians and the revolutionary masses of all countries are celebrating May First this year under exceptional conditions. Throughout the world, the people are furious with the U.S. imperialists for their brutal rape of Iraq and determined to settle accounts. Resistance in the early days of the war showed that the masses in Iraq were determined to fight. A people’s movement of tens of millions stormed the world stage. But the sudden collapse of the Saddam regime has shown, yet again, that there can be no effective struggle against imperialism under the leadership of the reactionary classes. It is the great task of the proletariat, and to it alone, to unite and lead the people in revolutionary struggle aimed squarely at the imperialists and the reactionary rulers of every country.
It is only the international proletariat, the class that stands opposite the imperialists on a world scale, whose interests lie in the complete destruction of the imperialist system, in the full liberation of all nations and in the creation of a society without classes and exploitation — communism. The enemy mouthpieces have been working overtime for many years to declare this vision and this mission an impossible and dangerous dream. But it is a dream that is rooted in the material conditions of the international proletariat itself, in its cooperative labor, its conditions of exploitation and its common struggle. It is a dream that must and does constantly fight to reassert itself despite the mountains of distortions and lies and continues to provide enthusiasm and a sense of direction and purpose. The truly dangerous deception is the strange idea that the problems of humanity could be solved without uprooting the capitalist system itself. A social system whose very motor is the exploitation of man by man, which breeds every kind of oppression and inequality, which has sacrificed many millions of people in its unjust wars of aggression and plunder — such a system can never be reformed.
The beneficiaries and protectors of this predatory world system will never listen to reason nor bow to the demands of the people, even when that will is expressed in an overwhelming and forceful way. In the mouths of the imperialists, words like “international law”, “democracy”, “consent of the governed”, “freedom”, whether eloquently preached by Tony Blair, grunted by George Bush or even when translated into French or German, are nothing but decorations to cover over this naked reality.
The imperialists and reactionaries are a small minority and can only maintain their domination of the planet through their armies, police forces and intelligence services, not to mention their huge arsenals of weapons of mass destruction over which they are so determined to keep a monopoly. The war on Iraq proved once again the truth of Mao Tsetung’s words, “political power grows out of the barrel of a gun”.
However strong the imperialists may appear, they are ultimately weak. Why? Because their exploitation, oppression, injustice and aggression make people all over the world hate them, including the people within their own countries.
The communist science and ideology, Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, is powerful, not only because it correctly analyzes the world, but also because it corresponds to the interests of the majority of humanity. When the communist understanding is grasped by the proletariat and the oppressed, it becomes a material force and can transform the world.
We repeat our call to look to the Himalayas where we can see millions of the downtrodden standing up arms in hand, taking political power for the immense majority of the people. Bit by bit Nepal is being transformed by People’s War from a very backward country into a shining example of the future for the proletariat and oppressed of all countries.

Of course it looks like something you’d draw with friends in first year of college while getting baked on a wednesday evening. In presenting itself, the drawing screams, “I look like something you’d draw with friends in first year of college while getting baked on a wednesday evening.”

My only question is, what’s wrong with that?

lol sarahana… perhaps i came across negatively. there’s nothing wrong with it of course.

except that it is actually boring.

what i mean to say is NOT that it doesn’t deserve to exist. of course it does. but it is substandard. both drawing and the story.

however getting baked on wednesday evenings was fun wasn’t it. and i suppose i should give this higgledypiggledy cartoon some credit for nostalgic reasons. but just that. keep up the enthusiasm.
