Kamaraditya is right when he says that just appeal would not be enough. What the revolutionary platform within the UCPN (M) wants to achieve and what course they would select? They might have the following options available.
1. Course Correction: Chunabang was the departure point from where the present two courses originated in their present forms. Through surgical process, the revolutionaries could disconnect them from the revisionist/liquidationist line of Prachanda-Baburam faction. This would made the course corrected and would reignite the tactical revolutionary line, spirit and actions.
2. Continue Grumbling and submerge within the revisionist course: Making death, somehow, normal and natural, the revolutionaries could continue grumbling and the death waiting them would take them on its lap. Staying together with Prachanda-Baburam camp for a longer period of time would result in digesting the revolutionaries by that camp and the impact would be more fertilizer for strengthening regression.
3. Retire and stop being misleading to yourselves/to others: Rather than being a part of the process that has been destroying the revolutionary path, gains, hopes and structure; retire. The retirement would give you peace of mind and others would understand the reality that though you attempted but failed. They would consider your retirement as one MOST important act that did not mislead people.
When the revolutionaries decide their course of action, their acts would follow in line with. Option 2 and 3, simply ask non-actions, whereas the first action needs action, thinking, courage, commitment and many more. This would be the historic decision and would invite sacrifice. If you are ready to sacrifice, you have every right to ask for sacrifice from the PLA. Your two-liners may not do wonders if you are still under thick cloud. If the revolutionaries would go for clear break, in that case they may ask the PLA to go for any of the following available options.
1. Rebel: Go back to your nest. Ye have made sacrifices in the past, continue your historic tradition. We have formed our vanguard now. Let’s reassemble around it.
2. Be pragmatic: Collect cash opting for “vol.ret.”, use it for meeting the dire needs of your families, join revolution and strengthen the recreated PLA.
3. Go by your choice, please never harm the baby, “the revolution”, you gave birth and you nurtured so dearly. Be aware of Prachanada-Baburam’s harmful acts and deeds.
Now, there is one simple question to the revolutionary platform – when will you finally decide your future course? Now? After some months? Never?
