you havent been to Harvard Square in the People's Republic lately have you? there is a huge amount of support here and there is a Maoist Bookstore raising funds at 1156 Massachusetts Ave (Revolution books). There are a lot of rich liberals here and business is brisk.
Let me clarify. No government (not even the Chinese) is supporting the Maoists, because they're brutal and crazy. But Gyanendra is doing his best to try to make the Maoists look good, which isn't easy.
