Two line in CPN (M) and the March Pass

Divash Sharma

Personally, I felt overwhelmed by the "March Pass " of the youths in red in Birtamod, the birth place of the Great Jhapa peasant's rebellion. I felt moved and thrilled.

The third phase of the armed class struggle has already been over. The first phase of 1955, Bara Rautahat armed rebellion died in its infancy. The second phase that started in Jhapa in 1971 had met road blocks in 1981 and got disintegrated. The third phase which was initiated in 1996 was the "people's war". It was the most influential class war in the history of Nepal till now. But, this got severe blow in 2006 and became already defunct. We should realize this fact and should accept this truth. Now we have to analyze the reasons for such happening as objectively as possible.

Now, this is the period of the preparation of the fourth phase. Hence, it is only natural that we see fierce two line struggle continuing. "The participation in election" line,and "the boycott of the election" line are standing against each other.

In the past, there were several mistakes as the revolutionaries behaved like a monolithic bunch. They must learn lessons and should conduct the two line struggle till it passes through the process of  political debate that could be conducted within the party and by following the procedures of the party. Pushing people out is not the solution, pushing the wrong line out by taking the debate as ideologically as possible and as politically as possible should be the objective. Hence, allowing debate till it reaches to its logical end should be the general norm.

As far as I believe, the "participate in the election" line is exactly what the UCPN and UML have been following. There is no need of the CPN(M) to carry the same tactic and agenda with the same vague goal. However, the leaders and cadres of the CPN (M) following such line should be given full hearing so as to help them to decide not emotionally but politically and ideologically.

After seeing the "March Pass", the Nepalese people hope that there are seeds germinating for the forth phase of the armed class struggle, this time, may be, arm revolt as the basic nature of our society has been fast changing.
