Antoine was spellchecking this post and was delighted to see that the suggested alternative for Maoists was maggots. Those things just get better and better!
If previous revolutions are any guide, the King should either get the hell out now, or strike very hard against the Maoists. Louis XV or Napoleon would fire grape shot into the crowds and survive, Louis XVI would order his troops not to shoot and watch them get torn to pieces before he eventually was executed in public and his family tortured and killed.
Elections don’t work when one side promises to exterminate the losers and the only rational course is to stop the election. It’s bad and may not improve for some time.
