Are you saying that democratic India supports the communist Maoists and the communist Chinese hate the Maoists? What an upside down world!

Do the Maoists have popular support by the common people? They seem to be on the rise.

Indian democracy is made up of election-contending Communists and Socialists. The Indian State of West Bengal democratically elects the Communist Party by large majority. It has been for almost half a century. So, it isn't as simple as Communist vs Democracy.

Maoists kidnap large number of children and indoctrinate them. They also offer "job" to the poor. The job, of course, is to enlist in the maoist cadre and fight the government. And they are paid rather handsomely. They raise funds in India and in Europe.
