The Communist Party of Nepal (Mashal) was an underground
In 1986 CPN (Mashal) reformulated its ideology from 'Marxism–Leninism–Mao Zedong Thought' to 'Marxism–Leninism–Maoism'. The same year the party initiated a failed armed insurrection, which became known as

In 1986 Pushpa Kamal Dahal (party name Prachanda) was named general secretary of the party.
During the popular uprising against the royal regime in 1990, CPN (Mashal) and CPN (Masal) united around the United National People's Movement.
In 1991 CPN (Mashal) merged with Communist Party of Nepal (Fourth Convention), and formed Communist Party of Nepal (Unity Centre).

petty bourgeoise and national capitalists as friendly classes, and saw feudal landlords and comprador-bureaucratic capitalists as class enemies.[3]
