Maoists vs Gays : Melbourne Indymedia

Emerging from a decade of fighting government forces, the insurgents have launched a clean-up drive against polygamy, polyandry, infidelity, drunkenness and homosexuality -- even though many gays were previously aligned with the Maoists against the autocratic rule of the widely despised King Gyanendra.

Maoist cadres, seen regularly on the streets of Kathmandu as they move towards taking over key roles in the Government under a peace accord worked out with Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala, have warned home owners not to let out rooms to gays and lesbians.

They have also announced "a zero-tolerance policy towards homosexuality" and a crackdown on pornographic films.

A Maoist commander allegedly told a group of gay men: "We are against any aberrant activity that could have a negative and vitiating effect on society."

And when members of the gay rights group Blue Diamond Society met Maoist leader Dev Gurung, he reportedly said homosexuality was a by-product of capitalism. "Under Soviet rule and when China was still very much a communist state, there were no homosexuals in the Soviet Union or China," Mr Gurung is reported to have said.

"Now they are moving towards capitalism, homosexuals may have arisen there as well. So homosexuality is a product of capitalism. Under socialism this kind of problem does not exist."

me big maori man.
me never do that.
me thinks it no good.
me missus loves it though!

These filthy red fascists are now talking openly about a ' red corridor' to the sea. This would go through one of the worlds largest democracys and the red fash are already doing what they do best in India - murdering poor peasant families.
This working-class uber alles political philosophy is the most dangerous and dynamic in the world today.
Parts of it are recombinant in the Leninist invasion of Iraq and the drive to breed up big time in Germany and Au.
The best solution for the left is for the vast majority that is democratic and libertarian socialist and practises diversity is to drive the totalitarian Marxist-Leninist ' left' out.
The guests have taken over the house.

oppression of peasants and dalits is over -- the 'red corridor' connects the northern fighters to the fighters of the south -- from Nepal, Calcutta to Kerala.

cowardly homosexual Australian informers and counter-revolutionaries are invited to present themselves for 're-education' -- we offer lessons learnt from thousands of years of feudalism and slavery. we no longer eat the dust off the landlords sandals.

until you have walked in my bare feet and watched your children die while the landlords family laughed and grew fat .. do not dare to judge our logic and strategies.

it is obvious who is being targeted -- AND WHY!

Hing Lun you're probably one of those people who thinks being gay is unnatural yet eating dead mutilated corpses of factory farmed animals and drinking the breast milk of a factory farmed cow somehow natural. (HYPOCRITE!).

Why don't you just fucking mind your own business? So what if two people of the same gender love each other? If the first thing that comes to your mind is the bedroom scene, then YOU are the sick twisted pervert.

Homophobic attitudes (homosexuality is a 'by-product' of 'decadent, Western' capitalism) and sexual puritanism on the part of Marxist / Maoist parties in south Asia are hardly new(s), and the roots of such attitudes may be traced back to the nineteenth century and Marx himself...
