What's going on in Nepal now is a good example. Control of the Marxist-Leninist party in a multiparty system that was, according to international observers, freely and fairly elected. Free speech is essential for social growth, but the role of the state is non-debatable.

Sounds great. I'm sure we'll experience net emigration from the U.S. to Nepal instead of vice versa for the first time in history as progressive Americans leave their horribly backwards, racist homeland for this new paradise of social justice and civil liberty.

Not like any society gets great overnight, but so long as the Maoists (that the Marxist-Leninists allied with other parties to force out of the coalition) don't go nuclear again, Nepal will be able to stabilize and focus on a humanity-focused development

My point is that a human and democratic face is being put on Socialism there, and similar models can apply elsewhere. More strongly focused on development than the European states, yet not devolving into Bolshevism and their tactics
