Canada’s BASICS Community News Service and Kasama Project [USA] about the situation in Nepal, the necessity of revolution, and her journey from student activist to communist leader. From January, 2013.
It’s about 15 minutes and absolutely worth watching, I was really excited to finally be able to release this online.

Over the last sixteen years millions in Nepal have risen up to change their fate. They waged ten years of people’s war, battling against kings, castes, landlord classes, and foreign domination. Many around the world hoped for a revolutionary seizure of power and a new society for Nepal. After suffering tremendous setbacks the revolutionary dreamers are regrouped, aiming to start a communist revolution anew.
In January of 2013, revolutionary journalists Natalio Perez and Liam Wright of the Kasama Project traveled to Nepal. Their presentation will tell the story of Nepal’s revolution, the current situation there, feature video and photos from their journey.
I’m speaking at this! If you’re in Portland, come through!!!

A video interview that some comrades and I put together in Nepal this past January. Check it out! Reposted from Kasama Project.
BASICS CNS and Winter Has Its End correspondents caught up with Ganesh Kumar Chitaure, owner of a radical bookstore, Jagaran Book House, in Kathmandu.
Chitaure explains some of the basic inequalities along caste and class lines in Nepal that motivated him to join the Maoist movement.
He also talks about the role that he played as a member of the Maoist party and how that led to his founding this bookstore.
Chitaure also provides a brief overview of the differences and splits that have emerged in the Maoist movement now after the ending of the insurgency.

The most surreal thing about Nepal is the mass proliferation of the hammer and sickle. Seriously, it’s everywhere. Murals, posters, banners… oh yeah, and this massive billboard that was promoting the 7th Congress of the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist.

A comrade and I are heading to Nepal in three days to report on the 7th Congress of the Communist Party of Nepal [Maoist], and we urgently need funds in order to be able to cover the costs of travel and subsistence for the 3-5 weeks that we will be there. We will be communicating the developments of this weeklong congress, and other observations of the revolutionary process, in articles, photographs, and videos through our Winter Has Its End site, and also through the Kasama Project site. I will also try to post periodic updates on this blog and also on the tumblr of our Kasama collectivity in Seattle, Red Spark.
The CPN(M) is the left split from the Unified Communist Party of Nepal [Maoist] (I know, not very creative in the naming category), which formed after much of that Party’s leadership, including top leaders Prachanda and Baburam Bhattarai, took the capitalist road and effectively disarmed the revolutionary forces. The 7th Congress, despite its name, is the first congress of this new communist party in which it will, for the first time, convene its membership to make decisions on strategic orientation for the renewal of the revolution in Nepal.
I aim to provide on-the-ground news and analysis to convey what a living, complex revolutionary movement looks like, to raise our sense of radical possibilities, and to heighten our confidence in the power of communist ideas. To reference Chairman Mao, we think too small, like the frog at the bottom of the well; help us to show the world a glimpse from the top.

The Winter Has Its End reporter team urgently needs $7,000 to send reporters to Nepal.
Nepal remains gripped in a profound constitutional crisis. Its ruling parties have failed to re-establish a stable peace. Those who betrayed the revolution’s aspirations have instituted even more oppressive measures than existed in the old regime, selling the whole society to Indian capital and chaining Nepal to the world imperialist system.
On January 9th, 2012, the 7th Congress of the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist will take place. A historic regroupment of Nepal’s communists, aimed at continuing Nepal’s revolution, has taken place. Already, they have begun militant factory seizures, and formed a new revolutionary force, the People’s Volunteers. New art and cultural movements are springing up, transforming the ideas of the society and preparing people for a new stage of revolutionary struggle. Nepal’s revolutionaries are struggling and charting out a new course to revolution in a country like Nepal.
Please donate generously and allow the Winter Ends reporters to share these developments with the world.

Oh. My. Fucking. God. Must. See. This. Movie.
Basically this is a film about the internal conflict in India between the reactionary Indian state and the Naxalite rebellion, led by the Communist Party of India (Maoist) which, from what I’m told, gives a positive portrayal of the insurgents. The trailer looks badass.
CHAKRAVYUH
There is a war raging in India. A war whose end can’t be seen. A war that isn’t being waged by outsiders. The enemy is our own! The youth of the country are rebelling. Against injustice, against tyranny, against exploitation. Inequality will not be tolerated forever. There is anger, and there is deep social unrest. Our own countrymen are locked in the bloodiest armed mutiny this country has ever seen.
Chakravyuh is the story of six extraordinary characters, each with an all-consuming dream.. A promise.. A promise they will uphold above everything else.
How many thoughts could Gonzalo Thought think if Gonzalo Thought could think thoughts?
Latin American revolutionary music, chavismo, Nicaraguan history, and other communist musings.
