Nepalese Maoists Gaining Popularity!!!

There is the possibility that the threat of no strike policy was/is tactical for the mobilisation of General Strike put foward by one of UCP's(Nepals-Maoist) leading protagonists and former prime minister Prachanda, to force existing powers to accept the goal of civilian supremacy, which from this article seems to be esablishing a constituent assembly, a constitution, Nepal as a Republic, alligning the Nepaliese PLA into the nations Army & establishing legitimate civillian rule!
"..... to restore “civilian supremacy” or face a general strike and other strong protests"

"....But they are making the point to their political colleagues, with whom they’ve worked through the Comprehensive Agreement but who they see as for the most part only temporary allies at best, that just because they’ve put down their arms doesn’t mean they can’t use their mass organizational skills to scare the hell out of them. The next step is a general strike."

Looks like things are heating up in East India & Bangladesh!

"Central and eastern parts of India are rich in mineral wealth that can be sold to the highest bidder. All that stands between politicians/ big money bags and this wealth is the tribal people and their refusal to consent to their designs. Addressing a conference of heads of different paramilitary, intelligence and police forces a month ago, Manmohan Singh stated that the mineral resources in the regions of tribal people remained untapped due to resistance, which affected the foreign investment"

Chavez calls for the establishment of a fifth international!

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called for the formation of a “Fifth International” of left parties and social movements to confront the challenge posed by the global crisis of capitalism.

The president made the announcement during an international conference of more than fifty left organisations from thirty-one countries held in Caracas over November 19-21.

“I assume responsibility before the world. I think it is time to convene the Fifth International, and I dare to make the call, which I think is a necessity. I dare to request that we create my proposal,” Chavez said.

The head of state insisted that the conference of left parties should not be “just one more meeting,” and he invited participating organizations to create a truly new project. “This socialist encounter should be of the genuine left, willing to fight against imperialism and capitalism,” he said.

During his speech, Chavez briefly outlined the experiences of previous “internationals,” including the First International founded in 1864 by Karl Marx; the Second International founded in 1889, which collapsed in 1916 as various left parties and trade unions sided with their respective capitalist classes in the inter-imperialist conflict of the First World War; the Third International founded by Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin, which Chavez said “degenerated” under Stalinism and “betrayed” struggles for socialism around the world; and the Fourth International founded by Leon Trotsky in 1938, which suffered numerous splits and no longer exists, although some small groups claim to represent its political continuity.

Chavez said that a new international would have to function “without impositions” and would have to respect diversity.

I wonder if members of workers power/perminant revolution (or whatever the fuck they call themselves these days) are pissed off cos he's nicked their brand?

Well if competition for the name is challenged by the former then good luck to him.
Do you reckon groups such as groups as Socialist Action & Socialist Appeal may pull in with him in this project.

To be honest the whole basis of 4th International is outdated with the fall of USSR & 'communism' as a radical alternative to Stalinism and opportunism to Russia.

At least this 5th International won't be supporting groups of organised paedophiles!
