Is Maoist ever going to succeed in Nepal?

With the onset of new political change, the success of Nepal’s Maoist revolution is one of the biggest questions in the minds of many that are concerned. After a long lasting chaotic civil war, Maoist finally won over the people’s voice. Success of their decade long endeavor is vouched by the overwhelming majority votes earned by the Maoists. Leaders like Puspa Kamal Dahal, Baburam Battarai, after dethroning monarchy, now run this small country in SouthEast Asia.
Now all those promises made by the “people’s party,” to rule the nation, has come true. The newly elected government is in the process or writing a new constitution. Nepali people had a choice of being ruled by the Maoist over monarchy. With this choice of Maoist over the monarchy comes a new hope. People of Nepal sacrificed the pseudo democracy bundled with monarchy and embraced communism for change. Being a firm believer of liberalism, I think we gave our freedom away. We gave our democracy away and entered a new system of hope, system for the poor, system without betrayal to the population, communism.
However, we have a history that will shed some lights. Any believer of liberalism, in a right state of mind, won’t be happy to live in a nation that has gone democratic to socialist. We have all heard terrifying stories about what communism brings to nations. Cuba has seen communism prosper rapidly but how does western world look at it? Are Cubans happy or are they just able to survive with what it given? If they were happy, they wouldn’t jump in boats and flee to places with potential to prosper .It true that Cubans don't have to worry about their medical bills nor do they have to worry about putting food on the table. Nonetheless, Why is the living standard in Cuba so low regardless of their growth rate of more than 5%. Economic prosperity and growth is possible if restrictions are put on people where a country is operated like a factory and citizens treated as workers.
Nepal can follow Cuba’s or China’s suit and raise the GDP by solely focusing on production. But are the Chinese happily living in China? In China an individual got brutally tortured by the police for stealing a bicycle. Furthermore, the same guy was killed, by the police, for retaliating by throwing a petrol bomb at the gate of the police station. Now imagine this same scenario in any democratic country with civil rights. A bicycle thief, in a society with civil rights, does not get tortured by the police. Nor-would the man throw a petrol bomb in retaliation to the torture he suffered. Being killed in a police custody is unacceptable in any country with enforced civil rights. So lesson here is, there are harsh consequences for minor crimes, let alone major ones, if you reside in a communist country.
Communist countries strictly control people’s lives. Opening up to new ideas are strategically discouraged by the government for the fear of losing control over the people. So, in the process of being in control, building the nation and competing with the outside world, one’s rights as a human being is not only ignored but violated. Not just people’s rights but their beliefs, including religious beliefs, are strictly controlled by the government. Crimes are punished inhumanely and harshly just to maintain a belief and preserve the old historic law of communism. The ruler takes all the rights and power from the ruled hence the ruled have absolutely authority to challenging the ruler’s rule at any given time. The more threatened the citizens are, more the communism prospers.
It is hard to find a Russian residing in Russia that can publicly criticize Vladimir Putin in Russia or a Chinese residing in china that can publicly criticize Hu Zin Tao in China. They refuse to criticize because they fear the very government that governs their lives. Communist rulers have so much power that citizens are scared, scared to death!
Journalism and media are public voices for the democratic world. United Nations , United States, Western Europe and most of the developed countries have an open media with freedom of press. On the contrary, Communist governments are scared of media. Why is media so controlled in these nations? For they believe that their citizen’s ignorance is a bliss. Nepal has recently followed suit by beating up journalist working for newspaper. The Maoist government of Nepal condemns the abuse but no implementation of any law is passed to preserve the rights of the people. When media is brought to its knees, citizens are kept in dark and a hand full of people of the government venture to become rich, powerful and the mighty, communism glitters more than gold.

The Sirens.

The Sirens were sea-nymphs who had the power of charming bytheir song all who heard them, so that the unhappy mariners were irresistibly impelled to castthemselves into the sea to their destruction. Circe directed Ulysses to fillthe ears of his seamen with wax, so that they should not hear the strain; and to cause himself to be bound to the mast, and his people to be strictly enjoined, whatever he might say or do, by no means to release himm till they should have passes the Sirens' island.
Ulysses obeyed these directions. He filled the ears of his people with wax, and suffered them to bind him with cords firmly to the mast. As they approached thr Sirens' island, the sea was calm, and over the waters came the notes of music so ravishing and attractive that Ulysses struggled to get loose, and by cries and signs to his people begged to be released; but they, obedient to his previous orders, sprang forward and bound him still faster. They held on their course, and the music grew fainter till it ceased to be heard, when with joy Ulysses gave him companions the signal to unseal their ears, and they relieved him from his bonds.

Is world peace possible ?

How much of humanity would it take for this world to be peaceful? Can’t we come up with a method that would help us live in peace? Is there a religion, faith, practice that would make a person peaceful? What kind of thoughts do you have on it?

We are back to the violence again. Last week it was in Africa, this week it moved towards Middle East, we don’t know where it is heading next. The dark clouds of violence and conflict just sway around our globe, inflicting death and suffering to human kind. What are we lacking in our thoughts and critical thinking that leads us to these disasters? Humans rule this world with technology and innovation; brain is supposed to be infinite. Seems like greed , power , conflict are embedded in our brain and thus infinite too .No matter how far we want to run away from it ,it’ll always be with us . It’s like a shadow. How can you run away from your shadow, do you think it’s possible? How about eliminating the shadow with some light? That light only can be in the form of education. I seriously think that peace in Middle East; south East Asia and Africa will find its spot only if the population of these areas is literate. People need education to understand democracy.

Input is highly appreciated.
Thank you
