From what I’ve heard from my Nepalese friends and acquaintances, they’re little more than a socdem party at this point, but hopefully this is a sign of good things to come.
Now that I think about it for a thought experiment; could a strictly maoist nation exist next to modern China? Is there some reading I could do for that specifically?
I don’t think there’d be hostilities, specifically, but just curious if that could exist without contradiction.
I don’t know if there is specific reading on that, but I don’t really see why they would have issues. The border between the two nations is almost impassable, so it wouldn’t likely have any real border disputes. And China generally doesn’t care about the ideology of their neighbours, as long as they aren’t actively disruptive or antagonistic. I don’t think it would be a problem, unless they are the kind of “Maoist” who are funded by the CIA.
These are just my initial thoughts though. I doubt it would really affect much, unless the Maoist nation was especially belligerent, which isn’t at all unique to Maoism, any nation could be that way.
*Most of my knowledge of Nepal comes from hearsay from people who aren’t particularly politically minded, so I wouldn’t claim to be an expert at all.
