How communism failed in Nepal?

Dialectical Materialism (द्वन्दात्मक भौतिकवाद),  a very common word used by Prachanda, Baburam and other pro communists of Nepal. In a very simple sense, it means there is a clash of thoughts in society and new idea generates form it. So the new idea generates according to the society. As Marx believed, the  communist leaders should be first to identify the change ongoing in the society  and need to change their agendas according to the society. And that's exactly where the Nepali Communists failed. They seem to know every conspiracy all over the world but didn't notice how Nepali society is changing just under their nose.

Dialectical Materialism  means to create new philosophical and political ideas according to the changing society but Nepali Communist just carried the photo of Max, stood in front with their wrist closed gesture commonly called Lal Salam ( लाल सलाम)  and were just hunting for power and money. The communist gave 5 different prime ministers and some are ruling the party for multiple decades but yet no have no any new socio political idea for the Nepali society. They are just carrying the words of Max, Lenin, Mao etc. 

Every party has there committee in ward and tole level and they seem meeting and discussing every days and yet they didn't know what is happening in front of them. Even the communist leaders don't know what their children are doing and think about the society and country. They still think that Nepali society is in the same stage as 2050s after the multiparty democracy. If you see their public announcement, press release and any official documents they have been just copying since 2050s with those same heavy and lengthy words that the new generations neither care nor tend to understand.
