Above: U.S. armed forces on top of Nepal’s embassy
In the face of this anti-revolutionary Nepal coup, the message we must take away is that the enemies of the working class are stronger than many had imagined. The anti-imperialist and proletarian forces have been showing great strength, as demonstrated by this month’s display of unity by China and its partners. Yet the imperial hegemon has immediately been able to show its own kinds of strengths, which have in certain respects become more substantial relative to the recent past. I am talking about the refined destabilization tactics that Washington’s regime change apparatus has applied within Nepal, which was just subjected to destructive schemes that are more effective compared to past color revolutions.
For the many Americans who desire to break their country out of the imperial order, and who voted for Trump in the hope that he would advance this goal, Nepal shows that somebody like Trump is only going to intensify imperialist warfare. And for the peoples in all countries who’ve gone down a path of involving themselves in political struggle, the applicable lesson is that our class enemies will take advantage of any weaknesses within our organizations or movements.
In critiquing the ways that our movements have been run, my goal is not to blame Nepal’s revolutionary forces for what’s happened; there were real problems with Nepal’s communist leadership, but to say the communists brought this on themselves is to take responsibility away from the main actors in the socialist movement who deserve scrutiny. These actors being the opportunistic communist party leaders, mainly in the imperialist benefactor countries, who have thrown themselves in with the Greek KKE’s project at splintering the international workers movement. To combat the harm that this ideological current is doing, part of what we must do is reach the masses who’ve been scammed by opportunistic figures like Trump; because what these cynical movement leaders do, aside from attack countries that are resisting imperialism, is dismiss the bulk of the people as enemies.
All of these problems are connected, and all of them work to weaken the working class amid the aggressive maneuvers that international capital is carrying out. As long as the workers movement is driven by anti-popular, ultra-leftist ideas, the global proletariat will lack a sufficient defense against the insidious methods that their enemies employ. Methods which absolutely can be overcome, but are going to be extremely potent when the color revolution machine is allowed to act unimpeded.
Key to how the hegemon triumphed in Nepal was by manipulating the social media platforms to rally certain layers within society, and doing so with a level of efficiency that overwhelms the institutions these networks are targeting. An important indicator that the anti-imperialist forces were unprepared to sufficiently counter these maneuvers was how even among Marxist commentators who are generally good in their analysis, there was a lack of full awareness about the extent of U.S. involvement.
Vijay Prashad’s assessment was that “If there was any external activity in the 2025 protests, it is more likely that India, and not the US, had a hand in the events.” He was only looking at part of the story, though; the larger context is that it’s U.S. tech companies which have been managing the flow of information within Nepal. And American big tech companies have long been confirmed to be controlled by U.S. intelligence. The Snowden leaks revealed that as part of the PRISM program, U.S. social media is a tool for Washington’s intelligence agencies to collect data in all countries where these companies have a presence.
This is the basis for color revolutions in the modern age: a global network where the empire’s intelligence centers surveil entire populations, then tailor their social media messaging to do the maximum damage towards the given targets. Moreover, in the case of Nepal the origins of the social unrest are directly tied in with the actions of these state-controlled American tech monopolies; these companies had refused to comply with Nepal’s registration law, and the reaction to this was a critical factor behind the ensuing “Gen Z rebellion.” Big tech had instigated a crisis, and used it to orchestrate the latest offensive in Washington’s hybrid war on BRICS.
This destabilization scheme by our tech overlords is part of a worldwide operation, one that the USA’s people are also being targeted by. And with the Trump White House’s project to build an Israeli-tied surveillance system through Palantir, many more Americans have become aware of these schemes in ways that they hadn’t already been.
The masses in the empire’s core are seeing how our government will never respect our privacy, no matter which party is in power. How the machinations of the Zionist lobby are subverting our democracy, and preventing us from having a government that’s sovereign or even truly republican. How blackmail through pedophilic elite circles has been a key part of this control, and our leaders will do anything to try to steer the discourse away from realities like the Epstein story. Our imperial deep state is going to try to revive old culture war divisions within American society, and as part of this mission, it will keep staging violent incidents that are designed to bring about bitter political conflicts. The question is how many will take this bait, and react to these events by turning against their fellow Americans.
This is the form that color revolution ops have taken on within our own society. For the sake of all the working masses who are under attack from the empire, we must reject these manipulations, and redouble all efforts at building up the global workers movement. This is our only path forward: to truly prioritize the class struggle, which means combating all attempts to splinter the working masses.
The KKE left is one force that’s contributing to these anti-worker wrecking efforts. The Hitlerite far right and the Zionists are of course other such enemies, but their malicious intent towards the workers movement is at least obvious; the KKE hides behind revolutionary slogans, and has thereby succeeded in aiding Washington’s latest “revolutionary” destruction of a socialist project. Given this development, the workers movement is absolutely on the defensive; but we can study the tactics our enemies have used, and rally the masses around defeating their tech-based schemes.
