Internal Debate within the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist)

Excerpts from an interview of Baburam Bhattarai in Tehelka July 9, 2005

Q. Is Prachanda Path a result of a collective thinking? If it is, why is the ideology named Prachanda Path?

A. According to Marxist-Leninist-Maoist (MLM) theory, all ideas are cumulative and interactive reflections of the material world, which include collective human activities, in the human consciousness. Hence nobody should have any doubt that Prachanda Path is a result of the collective thinking of the vanguard of the Nepalese working class.
