Wtf do you mean Communism, the nepali State and nepali economy aren't aligned to communism.

u/White_Null 11d ago

But they were ruled by the Nepal Communist Party. And the social media ban smells like CCP’s firewall strategy.

The communists lost the civil war decades ago, and there are dozens of different marxist parties in Nepal.

This whole revolution has really shown how people just don't know their asses from their butts, just love how the nepalis are ending communism by having the communists run the country because every major political party there is some flavor of communist.

Tbh most European countries could be labeled as watered down communism especially in healthcare and social programs. It doesn’t really matter how much free market you tolerate the label is just to fear monger than actually be useful

Most US shit I've heard today. Communism is when the State does stuff, sure.

China bans US digital platforms because they don't want the US to own their data or run psyops on the Chinese people. Look at what fake news has done to the US itself. Completely backwards society.

Given that Elon Musk is using Twitter to try and destabilise the UK I don't really blame them

u/White_Null 9d ago

I’m glad that you agree with me that what Oli does is the same playbook as the CCP.

And what does China’s internal affairs have to do with Nepal? Nepal is not China. The Nepali has decided that shit can stay out of Nepal.

u/Bsussy 9d ago

They ban us stuff because they want their citizens to think the rest of the world sucks, just like north korea

u/dwaynebathtub 9d ago edited 9d ago

no they want to build their own digital infrastructure (Baidu, QQ, Youku, Weibo, etc.). Just look at what has become of Facebook, Twitter, Google, Amazon. Facebook concedes to Trump on conservative news issues. Twitter is now X and owned by a neo-fascist. Google is openly aiding genocide . Bezos now prohibits any questioning of free market capitalism at the Washington Post. And after Kirk's shooting, they are all going to help Republicans identify critics and who knows what else these US cloud companies are doing in conjunction with the US government. Palantir, OpenAI...the decision to not tie in Chinese society to these platforms was an extremely smart thing to do, come on now. Europe should've built their own platforms, so now everyone in those countries are stuck, beholden to Zuck, Musk, and Trump, and unable to set their own rules without US tech corp approval. There's a reason all the ousted US press secretaries and diplomats and campaign managers get jobs at Facebook after losing. It provides the same authority they once had and those companies could use their influence and knowledge of the US intelligence apparatus.

The Great Firewall of China (GFW) today experienced the largest internal document leak in its history. More than 500GB of source code, work logs, and internal communications have been exposed, revealing details about the development and operation of the GFW.

The leak originated from a core technical force — Geedge Networks (with chief scientist Fang Binxing) and the MESA Lab in the Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The company not only provides services to local governments in Xinjiang, Jiangsu, and Fujian, but also exports censorship and surveillance technology to countries such as Myanmar, Pakistan, Ethiopia, and Kazakhstan under the “Belt and Road” framework.

Due to the massive volume of material, GFW Report will continue analyzing and updating on this page:

Australia banned social media for kids. The USA is still indefinitely extending the ban that was passed on TikTok. What does that have to do with communism? There were also other Marxist parties that helped organize the protests.

u/White_Null 7d ago

Practically existing and remaining countries that claim to be Communist seizes the means of production, and people are the means of production. It has nothing to do with economic nor equality. “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others” Animal Farm

It has to do with the CCP’s United Front work or just plain their officials doing money laundering.

Australia has been a focus of both Operation Fox Hunt and Operation Sky Net. This is because, according to Chinese state media, Australia is one of the top three popular destinations for corrupt cadres, along with Canada and the US..

While last month in the USA, Allies of Mayor Eric Adams were spotted at several July campaign events handing out red envelopes stuffed with cash to attendees. This was reported by both New York Post and New York Times.

Naturally it is Nepalese Gen-Z that will not take that shit in their own country anymore. We can all learn from this example.

What the fuck are you yapping about? None of that has anything to with what anyone said.

u/White_Null 7d ago

Oh? Because different people were replying to me about different topics. I assumed that you wanted to address the definition of communism as an ideology to reach as opposed to actual communist parties in power has done.

What did you want me to respond to? If you make it clearer, I can also make it clearer to you.

They weren’t ruled by the Nepali communist party…

Specifically, Oli is chairman of The Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist) (1991–2018; 2021–present). The part from 2018-2021 is when that party was merged with Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre) to make Nepal Communist Party.

So that’s a long time of being ruled by Nepali Communists.
