Expose and Defeat US Imperialism, the Primary Aggressor Against Humanity
May 26th, 2026
Nepal is a land of immense revolutionary history and immense contradiction. The mountains of Nepal carry the memory of armed struggle, sacrifice, and the blood of workers and peasants who rose against feudal monarchy and imperialist domination. Through the communist led anti monarchy insurgency, the old order was shaken violently. The 2001 royal massacre accelerated the collapse of feudal authority and opened the road toward the struggle for national democracy. During the ten years of People’s War, thousands of ordinary peasants and workers were martyred with the hope that Nepal would break free from feudalism, compradorism, and foreign domination.
But history teaches us one lesson repeatedly. Imperialism never sleeps. Revisionism opens the gate for imperialism.
The revisionist leadership that emerged after the struggle squandered the revolutionary possibilities created by the sacrifices of the masses. Instead of consolidating people’s democracy, they detached themselves from the masses, abandoned revolutionary vigilance, and allowed imperialist penetration into every sphere of Nepali society. When revolution abandons the mass line, imperialism advances. When communists cease relying on the people, the enemy infiltrates.
The present political crisis in Nepal cannot be understood outside the material contradictions produced after the People’s War. Although the monarchy was formally abolished and constitutional reforms introduced, the daily conditions of workers, peasants, students, and unemployed youth remained fundamentally unchanged. Large sections of the population continued to survive through labour migration, particularly to the Gulf states and foreign labour markets. Entire villages have been emptied of young workers forced to sell their labour abroad while the comprador elite accumulates wealth inside Kathmandu.
This contradiction produced enormous frustration among the youth. The revolutionary aspirations awakened during the anti-monarchy struggle were gradually replaced by disillusionment, cynicism, and political exhaustion. Revisionist forces that once spoke in the language of revolution increasingly became absorbed into parliamentary opportunism, power sharing arrangements, and state management under neo colonial conditions. The masses observed former revolutionaries integrating themselves into the very structures they once vowed to destroy.
Imperialism understood this contradiction clearly. Through NGOs, foreign funded civil society organisations, media networks, and social media manipulation, anti-establishment anger was redirected away from class struggle and anti-imperialism toward liberal individualism, moral outrage, and spectacle politics. This became the social basis for the so called “Gen Z Movement.”
The slogans raised during the movement reflected genuine social contradictions. Corruption, unemployment, nepotism, and elite arrogance are real problems confronting the Nepali masses. The slogan, “My father is in the Gulf, your father is in a luxury car,” expressed the anger of a generation abandoned by comprador capitalism and labour export dependency. But without revolutionary organisation and class consciousness, spontaneous anger can easily be captured by imperialist political engineering.
What emerged was not the revolutionary transformation of the state, but the restructuring of bourgeois rule under new management. One faction of the ruling order was replaced by another faction more acceptable to imperialism, global finance capital, and liberal media networks. This is the modern method of regime restructuring under neo colonialism. The language of anti-corruption is used to conceal the preservation of class power.
The rise of Balen Shah illustrates this contradiction sharply. A political figure constructed largely through media visibility and urban frustration was elevated rapidly without any coherent revolutionary programme for the workers and peasants. His silence within parliament itself symbolises the emptiness of spectacle politics. Behind the imagery of “new politics,” the old class character of the state remains intact. The demolition of the homes of squatters and landless settlers reveals the true nature of bourgeois governance. The poor continue to carry the burden of every political transition.
Today Nepal stands under enormous pressure from US imperialism, the primary aggressor against humanity. Washington seeks to transform Kathmandu into another neo colonial outpost serving its military and geopolitical interests against China and against the emerging multipolar world.
The so called “Gen Z government” represents not genuine democratic renewal, but a new mechanism of imperialist influence packaged through social media spectacle, liberal slogans, and psychological warfare. One anti people arrangement was simply replaced by another anti people arrangement more acceptable to Washington and global monopoly capital.
The United States attempted to impose the Millennium Challenge Corporation Compact not as an act of friendship or genuine development, but as an instrument of strategic domination disguised as economic assistance. Presented to the Nepali people as an infrastructure and energy project, the MCC formed part of Washington’s broader geopolitical offensive to deepen imperialist influence in South Asia and integrate Nepal more firmly into the US strategic architecture directed against China. Every imperialist project arrives wrapped in the language of development, democracy, partnership, and human rights. Yet behind every smiling diplomat stands monopoly capital, military expansion, political interference, and the logic of neo colonial domination.
US imperialism is actively attempting to transform Nepal into a frontline state in its campaign against China. Along the Nepal China border, Tibetan separatist groups backed by Washington continue to operate openly as instruments of imperialist destabilisation. The United States increasingly interferes in Nepal’s internal affairs and pressures sections of the state apparatus to accommodate these separatist formations and broader destabilisation projects aligned with imperialist interests.
This is not isolated. It forms part of a broader global offensive.
The United States has already militarised the South China Sea through puppet regimes and military alliances, particularly through the Marcos Jr government in the Philippines, which has increasingly opened the country to US military bases, troop deployments, and strategic operations directed against China. Washington continues to fuel contradictions between India and China while deepening military coordination across Asia as part of its wider encirclement strategy. Everywhere imperialism goes, instability follows. Everywhere imperialism intervenes, sovereignty is weakened. Everywhere imperialism speaks of peace, war preparations intensify.
India too plays a reactionary role in Nepal through economic domination and political interference. Indian monopoly capital benefits from Nepal’s dependence while sections of the Indian ruling classes seek to impose Hindu majoritarian influence upon Nepali society. But even this regional domination operates within the wider architecture of global imperialism led by Washington.
The contradictions unfolding in Nepal must also be understood within the wider crisis of imperialism globally. At the very moment US imperialism intensifies its encirclement and destabilisation campaigns across Asia, it is simultaneously attempting to suffocate the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela through sanctions, economic warfare, diplomatic isolation, and constant subversion. From Kathmandu to Caracas, the method remains the same. Any nation that seeks an independent path outside the domination of Washington becomes a target. Imperialism fears sovereignty. Imperialism fears revolutionary consciousness. Imperialism fears the organised masses. Whether through military pressure, NGO penetration, media manipulation, or economic strangulation, the objective remains identical: to prevent oppressed nations from exercising genuine political and economic independence.
The ideological offensive against Nepal is equally dangerous. Nepali society is increasingly told to abandon collective values and embrace hyper individualism, greed, and consumerism. Universities, once centres of political struggle and revolutionary consciousness, are increasingly depoliticised. Politics is pushed out while celebrity culture, spectacle, and reactionary entertainment are elevated. Imperialism fears politically conscious youth more than anything else.
Today media personalities and celebrity figures are manufactured as political instruments to manipulate public consciousness and neutralise revolutionary thought. The method is identical everywhere. Replace ideology with spectacle. Replace organisation with individual fame. Replace class struggle with entertainment.
During my visit, I also observed how religion increasingly functions as an ideological mechanism intertwined with exclusion and hierarchy. I visited a Hindu temple and, despite being instructed to remove my shoes, I was still denied entry. Such contradictions reveal how organised religion often distances itself from the broad masses while presenting itself as cultural preservation.
From a distance, I observed children undergoing rituals of initiation and naming within the shrines. It reminded me of colonial baptism rituals introduced by British imperialism in Africa. Though different in form, they perform similar ideological functions of social conditioning and obedience.
I was also struck by the open burning of dead bodies along the riverbanks. The contradiction between human need, environmental use, ritual practice, and inherited tradition became sharply visible. A revolutionary analysis does not mock culture, but neither does it romanticise all inherited practices without examining their material and social function.
Nepal today stands at the crossroads of class struggle, anti-imperialist struggle, and ideological struggle. The workers and peasants of Nepal carry a proud revolutionary legacy, but they also face enormous pressure from imperialism, comprador elites, revisionism, and cultural reaction.
The task of revolutionaries across the world is clear. We must expose the primary aggressor. We must defeat US imperialism. We must unite the workers and oppressed peoples of the world against neo colonialism, militarisation, and monopoly capital.
But the struggle unfolding in Nepal is not simply the struggle of one nation. It reflects the deepening crisis of global capitalism itself. Across the world, monopoly capital can no longer govern through stability, legitimacy, or genuine democratic participation. Everywhere the masses confront unemployment, rising inequality, landlessness, debt, imperialist war, and ideological decay. In response, imperialism increasingly relies upon manipulation, spectacle politics, militarisation, and psychological warfare to preserve its domination.
The experience of Nepal exposes a universal lesson for revolutionary movements. Where communists abandon ideological struggle, imperialism occupies the vacuum. Where the mass line is weakened, liberalism and opportunism penetrate. Where revolutionary organisation declines, social media spectacle and personality cults emerge to confuse the masses and redirect legitimate anger away from class struggle.
Yet despite these contradictions, the future remains with the organised masses. The workers, peasants, students, and revolutionary youth of Nepal still carry within them the memory of struggle and sacrifice. No amount of imperialist propaganda can permanently erase the material realities of exploitation. No amount of liberal illusion can resolve the contradictions produced by capitalism and neo colonial dependency.
Imperialism appears powerful, but all empires carry within themselves the seeds of their own collapse. The people of the world are rising. From Latin America to Africa, from Asia to Europe, humanity continues to resist.
The future belongs not to Washington, not to monopoly capital, not to imperialist war planners. The future belongs to the organised masses of the world. History moves forward through struggle. And the oppressed peoples of the world shall ultimately triumph.
