And we found out that in fact, the people were not against the Maoist movement. They told us that they reacted the way they did because they were afraid of repercussions from the security forces and the landlord. Still, most of the people in this area are wavering in their support, depending on how strong the People's War is. So the party went among the people and worked even harder to build revolutionary mass organizations. So far, we have threatened three landlords and forced them to return land to the peasants.
Landlords have security guards, weapons, etc.
In this area many of the peasants are landless and have to work on the landlords' land. Some have even had to sell family members to the landlord. Those who work on the landlords' land get just minimal food and clothes to live, others get some crops. So now the people want to work as free laborers and get wages from the landlord. But the party has announced the right to self-determination and the guarantee of autonomous regions for the oppressed nationalities.
