>Chairman Gonzalo’s life may have been taken by the reactionary Peruvian State and the US imperialists who pull its strings, but his ideas will never die, and they can never be taken from the people no matter how hard our enemies may try.

>A third element that is common in the western left comes from the Christian concept that salvation is not a product of a person’s actions, but a decision made by God. It is the notion that, although you work to do good deeds, to follow biblical law, to be a good person and so forth, your salvation is a decision of God’s. Subjective efforts related to the central point of Marxism, which is the conquest of political power (as Lenin said, “everything outside of political power is an illusion”), have been devalued due to this influence from Christian culture, even though the majority of Marxist intellectuals are atheists. Instead, the highest value becomes an eternal position of resistance, which produces a sense of pride. When Bernie Sanders lost the democratic primary for the second time, a renowned Marxist professor at the University of São Paulo posted on Facebook, “We fought like never before. We lost as usual but the fight continues. Now, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez is the future of socialism in the United States.” The Marxist logic of thinking of all political conflicts in terms of strategy, tactics, coalition politics, programs, of critically analyzing mistakes to avoid making them again, of hitting the enemy from a political or even military standpoint in order to take power has simply vanished, replaced by an eternal movement of resistance as if it were proof of divine grace. The very logic that should be the essence of politics, which is the logic of strategy, is devalued as resistance becomes an end in itself.

>>630976
>Building on Mao, Chairman Gonzalo exclaimed, “Damn the words of traitors. Everything was won in fact through revolutionary violence.”
I think this is like "commandism." It extols violence above all else. But the Chinese communists ultimately won because they won people's hearts. "Hearts and minds," to put it simply.

>The Shining Path’s dogmatism and brutal treatment of the peasants created a base for counter-revolution rather than revolution and spelled the end of the Shining Path when peasant cooperation led to the capture of Guzman and the gradual capitulation of the Shining Path. This turn was aided by the fact that despite the Shining Path initially attempting to become new patrons of the Peasants that in line with dogmatic Maoist thinking they would abandon the peasants to the mercy of military advancement. To the peasants, this eventually made the military the lesser evil and eventually a more powerful and reliable patron than the Shining Path. These ignorant, violent and commandist military errors were rooted in the ideological errors of the Shining Path which exalted the party above all else, ignored the history and needs of the peasants. exalted violence as the transformative historical force and ultimately reproduced racist and even colonial dynamics between the party and the masses.

>The defining ideological failure of the Shining Path, from which its violent and authoritarian terrors emerged, was that ultimately, they saw themselves above the peasants and that the peasant masses were a political force to be controlled by an all-knowing intelligentsia led party. […] Because Guzman and the Shining Path did not see the complexities of indigenous life and could only understand them by attempting to fit them into preconceived Maoist notions of classes they saw anything outside of their narrow view, whether it be indigenous culture and practice or race, as another obstacle to revolution, “one more insect to be squashed.” This meant that the peasants and their traditions were as much enemies to Guzman and the Shining Path’s revolution as the bourgeoisie and military; and when the tool of social transformation was violence, this meant the Shining Path would fight the poor peasants as viscously as it would fight the army. The Shining Path also openly wore their dogmatism on their sleeve, with party members showing their dedication by reciting Maoist slogans in their original mandarin, the party presenting its ideological lineage of “through Marx, Lenin, and Mao, not Tupac Amaru II, Juan Santos Atahualpa, Manco Inca, or any of the other Indian rebels in Peruvian history” and Gonzalo literally wearing his dogmatic ideology on his sleeve by dressing as a learned professor rather than a member of the peasant communities he hoped to lead. This base antagonism to the peasants and their way of life rooted in a tacit racism, open dogmatism, and rejection of the unique condition of Peru in exchange for Maoist dogma would define the ideological and military failures of the Shining Path as they would repress and massacre the peasants, their supposed partners in revolution, to a point where they would break and the army would crush the Shining Path.

>Through the People’s War in Peru, Chairman Gonzalo applied this universal ideology to the specific conditions of the country, generating what is called “Gonzalo Thought.”
Any regular Peruvian would call you "terruquear", in a derogatory way, thanks to Gonzalo.
Remember the praxis of gonzalites:
>pealing dogs' skin and hanging them on poles to protest the arrival of Deng to the CPC
>killing and proudly admitting they killed other lefty leaders, leaders when the mourning happened, in some cases, hundreds of thousands visited the burial.
>being this de-attached of reality and society.

The only real contribution of gonzalism is to prove how not to do praxis.

By the way, one of the tactics described by the COINTELPRO archives was precisely to create ultra-radical members out of touch so no one would want to be associated with these crazy people

>in people such as Maria Elena Moyano, the vice mayor of the shantytown. Moyano would have made an excellent commissioner for the South Commission. She came from the slums, articulated an acute critique of her everyday reality, and would have proposed a unique way forward. Her total commitment to the “basic objectives,” such as her pioneering work with the Vaso de Leche (intended to get every child one glass of milk a day), aligned her completely with Nyerere.21 Nyerere told the press in Lima, “The purpose of the South Commission is essentially to act as an instrument to mobilize ideas for development of the Third World in more imaginative and effective ways.”22 Nyerere turned to more establishment figures to sit on his Commission. He wanted people who were already conversant in the terms of the North-South dialogue. This decision limited its scope. In 1992, Maria Elena Moyano was killed by Sendero, who wanted to muscle into her neighborhood

It would still be wrong. What caused the peasants to be reactionary was consistent support of reaction by the CIA for the preceding 60 years.

Perhaps anons in here think leftists wouldn’t have been killed in Peru if the shining path hadn’t existed and been so mean.

Yes, just like leftists weren’t killed in peaceful chile under peaceful Allende.

Neither were they killed in Brazil.

In Bolivia there was no coup. Never has been a coup. No leftists have been killed.

In guetemala as well, no leftists were killed on account of their pacifism creating a physic force field which the imperialists found impenetrable.

Not like those violent insane Cubans, Nicaraguans, Uruguayans and their dirty guerrilla warfare which only served to upset the imperialists and cause even more problems.

They should have learned to bend over and take it those last 3 then maybe a friendly lib would have eventually been voooted into power yes.


So glad the Indonesian communist party, the third biggest in the world at the time, took the advice of anons in this thread rather than Maos own advice which came less than a month before their pacifist wizardry halted the deaths of millions of Indonesian communists and Chinese people

They’re basically theists that would need to justify the most insane and deranged mistakes countries like the USSR or Stalin ever made because they’ve turned ideology into a form of worship

>>631306

>>631307
That is literally how it works, you make a claim, you prove it.

>>631313
Well it’s the Gonzalo believers in this thread who are the ones questioning the official propoganda and the libs who accept it unquestioningly that SP were violent pysco killers.

No Gonzalo head is saying boiling babies is good, they are saying it didn’t happen, which has been shown over and over

>>631287
>What caused the peasants to be reactionary was consistent support of reaction by the CIA for the preceding 60 years.
So the peasants were reactionary because the CIA had been supporting the governments that oppressed them for decades? I'm no expert on the PCP or the conflict in Peru, but if it's true that the peasants collaborated with the government against the communists then I can think of no greater indictment of the party. If the very class you are trying to base your movement in seems to prefer their exploiters to you then you have failed utterly. It's not as if we are talking about a first world country here, where proles can be bought off by the spoils of imperialism, so the only way this would make sense is if the Shining Path were monumentally inept.

>>631302
They were deranged theists masquerading as Marxists
As for western gonzaloids, they’re socially ostracized fuckwits that predictably worship the most deranged and savagely violent red movement they could find, it surprises me they aren’t Pol Pot supporters
Because these people are simultaneously powerless and ostracized they retreat into endless violent fantasies and thus worship violent pseudo-cults no matter how massively said cults failed

>>631319
You should fucking kill yourself if your position is that the only verifiable information about the PCP comes from the PCP, deranged retard

>>631316

>>631325
>So the peasants were reactionary because the CIA had been supporting the governments that oppressed them for decades?
Yes, and doing all the things that the CIA has done throughout latin america via NGOs etc, spreading propoganda, infiltrating trade unions, and so on. How do you think the cia managed to bolster an opposition in all this places? There is extensive literature on all this which I don't think even the most cult like dengist denies, the work of USAID and the NED and so on.

> I'm no expert on the PCP or the conflict in Peru, but if it's true that the peasants collaborated with the government against the communists then I can think of no greater indictment of the party
This has happened in literally all of the above mentioned places and basically every communist revolution or socialist movement. Elements of the peasantry or proletariat have collaborated. Why is this an indictment of the Shining Path only and not say, leftists in El Salvador, in Nicaragua, the Red Army against the whites in the Russian Civil War, so on and so on. The difference is what? SP lost? Yeh well done. The USSR lost in the end. There are countless fledgling movements which lost. They are fighting against global imperialism, the odds are stacked against them.

> If the very class you are trying to base your movement in seems to prefer their exploiters to you then you have failed utterly.
but it is not true that the whole of the class preferred their exploiters. These are exploiters who force sterilised 200,000 of their women you really think they preferred them or perhaps revolution is difficult?

> It's not as if we are talking about a first world country here, where proles can be bought off by the spoils of imperialism, so the only way this would make sense is if the Shining Path were monumentally inept.
I have already approached this above, there is a huge soft power appartus at work in Latin America as well as a hard power appartus. I don't think anyone in this thread has the temerity to deny either of those things and their effect on the revolutionary movements of the country.

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2053168018820375

>The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in Peru is usually cited as an example of how capture–recapture methods can help improve our understanding of mass violence from incomplete observed data. Using 25,000 documented death records, the TRC estimated a total of 69,000 killings, and that the Shining Path was the main perpetrator, in contrast with the raw data where the Peruvian State appears to be responsible for the most killings. One feature not often noticed is that the TRC applied an unusual indirect procedure, combining data on different perpetrators and lumping together missing perpetrator data in one group. I show that direct estimations with strict stratification by perpetrator and accounting for missing data do not support the results of the TRC’s indirect approach. I estimate a total of 48,000 killings, substantially lower than the TRC estimate, and the Peruvian State accounts for a significantly larger share than the Shining Path. Rather than an example of correcting biases in the observed data through capture–recapture methods, the TRC actually introduced further distortion.

https://oxfordre.com/view/10.1093/acrefore/9780199366439.001.0001/acrefore-9780199366439-e-495

>Even after President Alejandro Toledo increased the number of commissioners to twelve from seven (adding Ames, Arias, Lay, Antúndez, Morote, and the observer Bambarén), the commissioners still reflected elite sectors of Peru least affected by the violence. All were residents of Lima, all were urban dwellers, only one spoke Quechua, only one understood it, and none self-identified as Indigenous or campesino. As Commissioner Carlos Iván Degregori later commented, “even the composition of the CVR reflected the gaps in the country” that underlay the political violence

>It is crucial to remember that survivors of the violence made decisions about what they would and would not share with the CVR. Anthropologist Kimberly Theidon observed that in many rural Ayacucho communities devastated by the violence, campesinos held local assemblies prior to the arrival of the CVR’s testimonial teams. At those assemblies, community authorities decided what local residents should say and what they should leave unsaid, lest some community members’ initial support for Shining Path militants somehow cast the community as less deserving of reparations. As Theidon notes, “There was an effort to close narrative ranks, prompted by the many secrets people keep about a lengthy fratricidal conflict and the numerous expectations a commission generates.”

>The CVR also conducted interviews with more than one thousand leaders and rank-and-file members of the Shining Path and MRTA. Commissioners decided against allowing any of these individuals to participate in the public hearings,

>Politicians from the period, including former president Alan García, gave testimonies and participated in public hearings.

>Some have also argued that the CVR was too narrow in its focus, upset that the Final Report did not highlight their communities’ experiences or investigate their claims. Others contend that the CVR should have discussed the forced sterilizations carried out by the Fujimori government’s Family Planning Program. Those sterilizations of over two hundred thousand predominantly impoverished women of Indigenous descent occurred without informed consent and sometimes against the women’s will, often with grave health consequences

Then another by the NY times, this time, also behind a paywall but I could get something.
>With its main thoroughfare called Revolution Avenue, its founders' Marxist credentials, and a city seal depicting a crossed rifle and shovel, the community long seemed well vaccinated against penetration by Peru's 12-year-old Maoist movement. At least this is what Maria Elena Moyano, Villa's 33-year-old Deputy Mayor, thought when she led a peace march on Feb. 14 against "those who want to impose themselves by force and brutality."
>The next day, a Shining Path squad tracked her down at a barbecue. As her 10-year-old son, Gustavo, watched helplessly, a guerrilla shot her in the face. Another then lit a five-pound dynamite charge under her body.
The explosion sent shock waves across this flat-roofed community of 320,000 people, and across Peru.
>The outspoken Mrs. Moyano had become a national symbol of public resistance to the Shining Path, known here as Sendero Luminoso. Last year, Lima's largest selling newspaper named her "Personality of 1991," and Lima's most influential news weekly nicknamed her "Mother Courage." After her slaying, Spanish aid groups announced plans to nominate her for the Nobel Peace Prize.
>But for the residents here foreign honors were less meaningful than the Shining Path fliers hurled in bunches at crowded bus stops, slipped under doors or distributed at markets last month by young people wearing kerchiefs over their faces. "Long live the just punishment of imperialist agent M. E. Moyano!" the leaflets proclaimed, leaving readers in no doubt who was behind the attack. Intimidation Has an Effect
>In the flier Mrs. Moyano, who was widely expected to win a mayoral election in November, was accused of stealing foreign aid money. Similar accusations were made in the cases of many of the 44 community leaders killed by the Shining Path in 1991.
The women was against them, so they did some image demolition campaign and later they killed her.
Obviously, by doing it in such a way it just put her in a martyr status among the not-ultraleft, and Fujimori tried (of course supported by the media to turn in into a martyr for his political goals).
CORRECTION: Looks like Martha Moyano lost a trial against a women whom she accused of being part of the murder of her sister. So I deleted that post, I didn't check again that news -that were from 4 years ago-.

>>631348
>Yes, and doing all the things that the CIA has done throughout latin america via NGOs etc, spreading propoganda, infiltrating trade unions, and so on.
Those things only work to a point. A peasant suffering from grinding poverty and political oppression isn't going to support the government just because a glowie NGO tells them to. They will only do it if they feel that the government will protect their interests more effectively than the communists will. Propaganda can help convince them of this, but only when that propaganda isn't debunked daily by lived experiences. In other words, if communists are going among the people, actually helping them, improving their conditions, empowering them politically etc., if the peasants can see clearly that this is the case, then they aren't going to oppose communism just because some glowies say "commies bad."
>Why is this an indictment of the Shining Path only and not say, leftists in El Salvador, in Nicaragua, the Red Army against the whites in the Russian Civil War, so on and so on.
It is. I would say that any instance where a class naturally predisposed to revolution is brought into the reactionary camp constitutes a failure on the part of communists. The difference is that clearly in Russia for example, these failures were not as extensive or severe as in Peru.
>The difference is what? SP lost?
Yes. If a communist movement fails it means one of two things (or both). Either the conduct of the revolutionaries was lacking (incorrect line, poor execution, etc), or it means the conditions were not ripe for revolution (which I turn means that the PPW was launched at an inopportune moment, and thus means the party line was mistaken).

INTERESTING STUFF ANON

>I bet Rendon would be sick for seeing his article being used as a rehabilitation piece
those are facts anon.

>>631370
Oh well, millions of burgers said Saddam Hussein did 9/11 and marched to subbort da troobs so it must be true

The only good thing Gonzalo did, apart from helping the reactionaries by giving them ammo against left leaning movements (the whole terruco stuff); was to show how NOT to do a revolution. I mean, the conditions in Peru where appropiatte for it, and they did took avantage of the situation pretty easily, but it was their heavy dogmatism and sectarian views that alienated the people. And I hope it's not controvertial to say that we, as marxist, should be very critrical of this kind of movements, the kind of movements that show this kind of heavy dogmatism and also are very centered around just a figure.
Also, while I agree that maybe some shining path actions may have been exagerated for propaganda pourposes, they still did a lot of stupid shit, like what they did in Lucamarca. Also the whole hanging dogs as a critique against Deng Xiaoping. It was these kind of actions, and their brutality when occupaying towns that made the peasants, who at first would support them, into supporting the army, who was also pretty brutal.
The conditions for revolution in Peru where set and a maoist people war may have been what started a revolution, but it was the ultra sectarian attitudes of shining path, and not taking full advantage (as the chinese maoist did) of the peasants willingness to support them what made them fail that bad, and also left a stain for left leaning movements to come.

reminder that they do it For free!

>>631383
>Those things only work to a point. A peasant suffering from grinding poverty and political oppression isn't going to support the government just because a glowie NGO tells them to.
but they literally do anon. In some cases. In others, glowie NGO's offer some scant support, that is why its called US AID . In fact they way they do things is very complex. We have all heard about the AFL-CIA's infiltration of Latin American trade unions, such as in Chile, instigating a transport strike against Allende, or Solidarnosc in Poland, or similar action in Bulgaria, in Jamaica, Puerto Rico, all over the place anon.

There are harder methods too, such as the contras carried out in Nicaragua.

I am not somebody who believes the "glowies are bumbling" line. Sure they make mistakes, but actually they are highly competent at what they do. Why wouldn't they be, they have infinite funding and years of trial and error in basically every country on earth to draw on, as well as the collated academic might of the entire white world and all its allies more or less.

This is not to even mention their control of the media.

Nobody is saying they are simply handing out leaflets saying commies bad, there is way more to it.

>It is.
so would differentiate between the tactics of the Sandinistas, Cuban Revolutionaries, and the Shining Path? It was the same tactics anon, more or less applied in the same manner. In fact if we are looking at Cuba, SP had more of an infrastructure of dual power and mutual aid in place than the Cubans, who basically took over the Island with a gung ho group of Guerrilas

Uruguay is another good comparison. The Tupamoros were extremely violent. They did very violent things. They now have a left leaning liberal democracy in place, which was cemented by an Ex Tupo. We do not see anons on this site sperging out about the Tupamoros tactics why is this?

>Yes. If a communist movement fails it means one of two things (or both). Either the conduct of the revolutionaries was lacking (incorrect line, poor execution, etc), or it means the conditions were not ripe for revolution (which I turn means that the PPW was launched at an inopportune moment, and thus means the party line was mistaken).
Right except the communist movement the world over has failed, the only parts that remain I may add, are more in line with Shining Path thought than any other.

Cuba, Korea, both fought violent Guerrilla wars, only to be backed up by an even bigger, even more violent super power.

Yes we can say "oh it was wrong to do the peoples war" again i say, as i always do, look at the context of the thing, literally as the Shining Path was doing its thing, the Contras were being funded in Nicaragua, destroying swathes of El Salvador and Honduras to boot.

Should they have waiting around to be slaughtered some more?

Can I ask and this isn't supposed to a facetious question, how much have you looked into the history of Peru pre SP?

Because would it surpise you to know, leftists and proletarians of all kinds had been being killed by the Peruvian state, in combination with the CIA, for many, many years before the SP came along. In fact, there were many peasant guerrilla movements before them, many of them abortive. If we are to look at a history of Peruvian guerrilla movements, which would be the best comparison, SP are by far, like far and away no questions asked the most successful

>but they literally do anon
If this is what you believe then you're effectively saying that propaganda and rhetoric trump direct experience and material interests. You're saying that history is made by ideas rather than material forces. It's anti-Marxist on the face of it. Virtually every example of workers or peasants siding against revolution can be traced back to some material explanation, either one relating to a failure on the part of the communists or objective material conditions outside their control.
>Sure they make mistakes, but actually they are highly competent at what they do.
Yes but they can't control people's minds. Nobody will buy into a political narrative if it contradicts their everyday life experiences. You can't tell a starving person that they are well fed.
>so would differentiate between the tactics of the Sandinistas, Cuban Revolutionaries, and the Shining Path? It was the same tactics anon, more or less applied in the same manner
And yet the Sandinistas and Cubans succeeded where the PCP failed. This indicates that either the tactics were not the same, or if they were, that they were not suited to the conditions of Peru. It makes no sense to say that the conditions in Peru were ripe for revolution, that the PCP did everything right, and that they lost despite this. Either the conditions were not right or the PCP conducted themselves incorrectly, because otherwise Peru would be a socialist country.
>We do not see anons on this site sperging out about the Tupamoros tactics why is this?
Obviously because the Tupamoros were more effective than the Shining Path, and didn't get BTFO as hard. You're talking as if the issue of violence or other tactics is a static phenomenon, the validity of which exists independently of the context. Clearly if the violent conduct of the Uraguayan socialists did not produce the same negative results as it did in Peru, then the conditions in Uraguay were better suited to violent tactics.
>Right except the communist movement the world over has failed
Yes, and this is due to a combination if mistakes by communists and unfavorable conditions, depending on the country. Again, it makes no sense to say that communists can fail even when conditions and conduct are both correct. To do this is to say that they failed for no reason.
>Should they have waiting around to be slaughtered some more?
I'm not saying that PPW or violence are bad in general, I'm saying that the execution of it by the PCP was clearly lacking, and failed to earn the support of a critical mass of the peasantry.
>If we are to look at a history of Peruvian guerrilla movements, which would be the best comparison, SP are by far, like far and away no questions asked the most successful
All that means is that the SP failed the least out of all of them.
>the leadership was murdered and imprisoned. Pretty hard blow
Sure, but we may want to consider this a sign that their leadership structure was flawed, lacked redundancy, was too reliant on a small group of individuals, etc. The Taliban spent the last 20 years having top leaders and commanders regularly turned to red mist by US drone strikes, but they still won in the end.

And the moron insist and insists…

This is from a pro-SP book, named in Spanish La voluntad encarcelada las luminosas trincheras de combate de Sendero Luminoso del Peru by Jose Luis Renique or The imprisoned will the luminous combat trenches of the Shining Path of Peru by Jose Luis Renique
During the trials of Osmán Morote he said:

>The lawyer from Puno Raúl Salamanca reacts to the interpellation by inquiring - and almost without being able to hide the intentionality of his question - to what extent his dialogue with the TRC, as well as the peace "talks" with the Fujimori regime, were not an attempt to "Take advantage of another space offered by the State without being frankly committed to the search for the truth." It is as if I said - Morote counterattacks - that "their presence here is a hypocritical presence, cazurra, that what they want is only to get information from us." Suspicion prevails for a long time. Morote refers to the democratic and deeply popular sense of the popular senderista guerrilla army; he demands to see the Puno case as part of a larger reality; He explains - from the logic of the establishment-counter-reestablishment of the "new power" in the countryside - what may be the origin of the testimonies against the PCP collected by the lawyers of the CVR. They were the ones who applied genocidal methods; if we had done it, the masses would not have joined our struggle. The question then arises about the "annihilation" of Marta Elena Moyano. The line was correct - argues the leader - her mistake was to blow up her body with dynamite after being shot. The late afternoon stops the verbal hemorrhage.91 The sun slips between the prison walls and the polar sunset imposes his empire on all: Yanamayo sin sol regains his intimidating fame.

They were proud about killing a social leader because she was "revisionist"

They even bragged about that:

>Why was the Moyano annihilated? It is very good that this reactionary is exposed. She was annihilated not for being a popular leader, but for being declared and proven agent of imperialism
(PCP-SL. Sesión preparatoria, III pleno, julio de 1992)
To the SP any social leader is just an obstacle for their armed struggle. Read it, it is in the declaration of principles of your beloved party.

>>631476
>If this is what you believe then you're effectively saying that propaganda and rhetoric trump direct experience and material interests. You're saying that history is made by ideas rather than material forces.
No i'm not, controlling trade unions is a material force. The media is a material force, aid is a material force. Military force is obviously a material force.

>or objective material conditions outside their control.
its this one, which is, all of the above.

>Yes but they can't control people's minds.
MKULTRA bruv they literally can. That aside

>Nobody will buy into a political narrative if it contradicts their everyday life experiences.
come on man, everybody who works for a wage experiences their surplus value extracted, how many are communists?

>And yet the Sandinistas and Cubans succeeded where the PCP failed. This indicates that either the tactics were not the same
It doesn't and the tactics were the same, and the tactics were also applicable in Peru, as I have previously said, the conditions were applicable basically everywhere else in Latin America, and where these tactics were not followed, disaster ensued, a la Allendes Chile, in Guetmala, everywhere else that didn't do a peoples war and got the coup

> It makes no sense to say that the conditions in Peru were ripe for revolution, that the PCP did everything right, and that they lost despite this.
why not? Can it not simply be that their enemy wielded greater force? A force insurmountable despite the best intentions and decisions of the party? Of course, every revolutionary movement makes mistakes, they are not infallible, but also, they are not uniquely fallible.

>Obviously because the Tupamoros were more effective than the Shining Path, and didn't get BTFO as hard.
but they did, the Tupamoros were defeated, their leadership destroyed and imprisoned. It was only later after years that they gained power.

> To do this is to say that they failed for no reason.
but i'm not saying they failed for no reason, i am saying they failed because their opponent outmanoeuvred them militarily. Maybe due to mistakes, but is this a moral failing like many in this thread claim? Something inherently wrong with shining path ideology and tactics generally?

> I'm saying that the execution of it by the PCP was clearly lacking
or their enemies response to it was more robust, which it was, because the peruvian military slaughtered many.

>All that means is that the SP failed the least out of all of them.
failed the least is another way to say succeeded the best anon come on you are smart you know this works both ways.

>No i'm not, controlling trade unions is a material force. The media is a material force, aid is a material force. Military force is obviously a material force.
Not exactly. Trade unions which repeatedly act against the interests of workers will eventually be rejected. Media narratives which contradict people's daily experiences will be rejected. Military force alone is not a stable basis for government. Again, to argue that propaganda alone can cause people to hold a position even if their lived experience directly contradicts it is to say that ideas are more powerful that reality and material conditions.
>everybody who works for a wage experiences their surplus value extracted, how many are communists?
Most people in the first world who work for a wage also experience relatively high standards of living, easy access to consumer goods, tolerable working conditions and hours, etc. It's not a coincidence that communist movements are much weaker in the first world than the third, because it is here that capitalist narratives are less at odds with people's actual experiences. In countries where hours are longer, pay is worse, conditions worse, etc people are far more likely to reject porky propaganda.
>It doesn't and the tactics were the same, and the tactics were also applicable in Peru
Then why did they lose?
>Can it not simply be that their enemy wielded greater force?
The enemy always has greater force. A communist movement that can't find a way around this problem is doomed to fail.
>i am saying they failed because their opponent outmanoeuvred them militarily
Then they were simply outfought, which again is still their fault. Is it a "moral failing"? Idk, but it's certainly a tactical one.
>or their enemies response to it was more robust
Come on m8, you can't justify failure by saying that you would have won if the enemy had just sat there and let you defeat him. Of course the enemy is going to have responses to your actions, its incumbent upon revolutionaries to respond to those responses in ways which weaken the enemy and strengthen themselves. They clearly weren't able to do this.

This is the first thing Mao says in his book about armed guerilla wars: You need popular support yes or yes or you are doomed. That's why SP and gonzalites failed, and that's why the gonzalites in this thread aren't Peruvian but some larpers in some german, angloamerican or belgium basement (I am quoting the servers IP of the few places where you can find some SP site)

If anything, what the SP did was harm.

>>631794
>Killing peasants and indigenous people will surely teach the bourgoise a lesson.
Can I ask what kind of lesson? If you are going to say the same shit as gonzalo did, that it showed how SP where tough and all of that bullshit, then I would like to ask you to fuck off.

Shining Path only did violence for the sake of violence, it never had a political goal with it. The bolsehviks and other revolutionaries sure did violent actions, but those actions always had a goal in mind, and violence was not the thing that defined them, it was actually just the means, not the end itself. But SP did violence for the sake of violence, and all of their actioms actually show us that.
You must be pretty fucking stupid to think that killing for the sake of killing its actually good, or can further any revolutionaty ends.

>>631577
>Man in the woods
Fun fact, Gonzalo didn't even stayed in the woods or the mountains, he was hiding in Lima because he had a sickness that didnt let him stay in high places for too long. This means that he wasn't really that well connected to his units that where fighting in the mountains and fields.

Also, when he was captured, he automatically decided to surrender and to sign a peace treaty instead of letting it's group to decide what to do next.

Someone being indigenous doesn't make them innocent. They are divided into bourgeoisie and proletarian the same as everywhere else.
And peasants are often reactionary, the richer one's especially. They should be squeezed as much as possible, dumb yokels with no revolutionary potential should be proletarianised as rapidly as possible. A peasant is unreliable, a proletarian is much more trustworthy. Look at Khrushchev. People like him should have never led the USSR.

Liturgical.

Here's John 1:1-18

<1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.

<6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

<9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

<14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

<15 (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’”) 16 Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and[b] is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

Notice similarities? That's why they call this writing style liturgical.

So what if the Bolsheviks were already in power? The Bolsheviks robbed banks, bombed meetings of their opponents, established red guards. Just because the shining path had not yet conquered all of Peru doesn't mean not to use violence.
There are plenty of rich peasants in the countries where such backwardsness remains. They have to be suppressed.
I am not even a Maoist or Gonzaloist. I just respect their attempt. Poor peasants can be useful but the dumb and rich ones and Khrushchevs of the world should be stamped on and kept doing farm work.

Born into a middle-class family in Sabaneta, Barinas, Chávez became a career military officer and, after becoming dissatisfied with the Venezuelan political system based on the Puntofijo Pact,[1] he founded the clandestine Revolutionary Bolivarian Movement-200 (MBR-200) in the early 1980s. Chávez led the MBR-200 in its unsuccessful coup d'état against the Democratic Action government of President Carlos Andrés Pérez in 1992, for which he was imprisoned.

human rights groups estimated that the PCP was only responsible for 10% of civilian deaths before the establishment of CVR (which was formed by the Peruvian Government

They also had 80% approval in Ayacucho, which would be difficult to gain if they were just bloodthirsty assasins

They also of course, had influence going all the way to the city and even held territory there which would be impossible if they did not engage in mass work.

https://www.refworld.org/docid/3ae6acd334.html

"As the bloodshed, fear, and fury gathered momentum, ancient rivalries burst into the open. German Medina, a doctor who became a left-wing congressman for Ayacucho and eventually fled the city after receiving threats against his life from the guerrillas as well as from government-linked paramilitary forces, said, "In some places, the formation of the rondas involved transferring communities from the higher areas to the valleys, acting as cushions to protect the military bases. With the soldiers following, they were obliged to comb the area for the senderistas. Anybody who did not take part was considered suspect.

"The creation of the rondas exacerbated intercommunity fights and brought old hatreds to the surface. These stem from the extermination of the Huari/Wari tribe by the Incas, who moved the survivors elsewhere and repopulated much of the region with other groups. The peasants try to take advantage of the rondas to settle scores, or just to gain general political ascendancy. But whole villages have disappeared, either through massacres or emigration, which is what the army wants because it leaves the senderistas with nowhere to hide and no one to feed them. The militia, which in some cases are suspected to be interested only in securing control over drug routes, welcome Shining Path deserters. The ronderos are a sharp thorn in the guerrilla's side and treated mercilessly."" -Simon Strong, Shining Path: Terror and Revolution in Perú

thank you for this comrade

>>643914
If you stage a protest and 50% of it doesn't consist of blocking traffic - you're a lib

>>643917
>If you stage a protest and 50% of it doesn't consist of blocking traffic - you're a lib
Correct and gigabased.

>Chairman Gonzalo is known for achieving many things in his life
Such as?

>>644454
Bombing the USSR embassy and the Chinese embassy of Peru while leaving the US embassy alone.

>>644477
Daily reminder that all he actually did was hang around in the city whilst others fought, killed and died. Never trust an armchair afraid of getting his own hands dirty.

>>644477
shut up retard, they bombed the US Embassy and the DPRK sold guns to the Peruvian government

>>644484
Gonzalo being in the cities was due to psoriasis which prevented him from being in the mountains, and urban lima was the target of constant PCP attacks and Police raids so it wasn't "safe" seeing how he got captured in urban lima idiot

https://revolutionary-initiative.com/2017/09/21/when-we-ride-on-our-enemies/

>>644554
Gonzaloites calling anyone but themselves retards.
The irony.

>>644558
Great guerilla leader all around

>>631555
>30-40 people
>"massacre"

do words no longer have any meaning?

Thanks for establishing liberal democracy in Nepal, it is certainly a step up from absolutism.

>>631555
>30-40 people
>"massacre"

do words no longer have any meaning?

>>644484
kek so Stalin was out on the front lines in ww2 was he? Jack ass that is literally how every army ever works. Any soldier will tell you the generals don't go up front. Because then you lose a general.

>>644477

A straight lie, here they are bombing the US embassy.

Imagine if anti mao fags didn't make up trash how much better this board would be

https://www.nytimes.com/1993/07/28/world/4-wounded-as-rebels-bomb-us-embassy-in-peru.html

that is igorning the fact that the peruvian state at the time was one big US embassy, one that you are defending by attacking Gonzalo

>>645572
trotsky was the leader of the red army and literally rode in an armored train to where the action was.

that's how a socialist general works.

>>645578
Trotskys train had a radio station and printing press built in, as well as turrets. Literal revolution-on-rails.

>>645578
Note, an armoured train. Was he out shooting shots etc? No.

>>645572
>Jack ass that is literally how every army ever works.
*Blocks your path*

>>645582
yes, the train was armed and would fire at the attacking white armies.

meanwhile, Stalin spent the entirety of WW2 with pencil pushers in the capital

that's the difference, Trotsky was a revolutionary, Stalin a counter-revolutionary.

>>645829
sorry mate being in a moving armoured artillery piece is not on the front line.

You could have pointed to Che or somebody else as the poster above has done, or many old generals, but for some reason you went with Trotsky.

>>645603
True, a leader coming to the front lines can increase morale, let alone picking up a weapon and fighting, and Alexander's stupidity inspired his men to fucking save his ass.

>>645846
cope

Please stop this shit. Nobody here care about Gonzalo but you

Obligatory.

Based. Revisionists BTFO

He was a revisionist and probably a trotskyist.

>>656592
>>656597
The duality of man

>>656580
Gonzalo and MLM was all hype, turned out as another failure.

>led them in combat to concrete victories
Such as?

I didn't know that reds tried to pull off a naval mutiny in Peru in the 30s. That's pretty interesting.

I’m convinced there are fuck tons of people here with diseased /pol/ brain who simply worship violence on its own terms and for its own sake

wtf is this incel shit

Leftypol is not ready to accept Gonzalo. He was right in his struggle
Funny how leftypol repeats idiotic anti gonzalo propaganda about boiling babies or whatever and never question it being bullshit

>>656666
If he was correct why did he lose?
Face it, you worship Gonzalo because he was a murderer, simple as
>But muh bolsheviks killed people!
They also won

>>656666
t. Satan

>>656666
While it is reprehensible that they're REEing about the lie of baby boiling, that still doesn't mean Gonzaloism is justified. It was a huge failure and most importantly - these "principally Maoist" cultists preserve elements of Sendero Luminoso practice that led to its downfall, namely "jefetura" (hard centralism around Gonzalo himself rather than the Party). Your line is wrong and in the dustbin. Naxalites have better theory than you people - and they also have an ongoing struggle to show for it.

>>656667
if Stalin was correct why did he lose

>>656691
I bet you havent read a single line of gonzalo theory that isn't from leftypol memes and infographics

>>656707
He didn't though.

>>656707
Stalin won more than almost anyone else in history though?

>>656708
>leftypol memes and infographics
Never seen ones that aren't about baby boiling, so no. Also learn to argue. When your replies says nothing of value then maybe reconsider your methods of communication.

>>656710
do you see a socialist Russia/Surrounding states? No.

Was his legacy passed on to the next generation? No they immediately revised key elements.

>>656711
Only to lose it all in the end.

If you look at Peruvian history, Shining Path are the most successful of a succession of peasant guerrilla movements. Far more successful than any of the previous. No they didn't ultimately win, but ultimately socialism has won in very few places. Cuba and the DPRK basically, and these places hold on by the skin of their teeth.

The situation in Peru is basically no different from the situation in Nicaragua or Uruguay, formerly Guerrilla struggles more Marxist Leninist in orientation, now after years of bloodshed the stage has been set for some socdemmery to be allowed to exist.

This is the objective materialist way to look at it, over a long period of time. Kvetching about dead reactionaries well, I have something to tell you about the Sandinistas my friend

>>656720
By “at the end” you mean decades after he died right?
>Uhhh but muh Khrushchev!
I don’t suffer from the mental illness known as Maoism so that shit is irrelevant to me

>>656720
>No they didn't ultimately win, but ultimately socialism has won in very few places. Cuba and the DPRK basically, and these places hold on by the skin of their teeth.
And Gonzaloids, unlike most other Maoists, violently denounce them. Philippine and Indian Maoists critically support DPRK and Cuba.

Fuck Gonzalo and fuck you.

>>656752
This is just a China enthusiast. His stage name is Brother Hao and he lives in China today as a pop culture star of sorts.
Sage for off-topic.

>>656604
Obviously Lucanamarca, those villagers weren't going to die themselves.

>>656809
Really, were the 18 children hacked apart by machetes CIA puppets, you fucking rabid dog?

Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q
N-NOOOOOOO!!
N-NOOOT THE ANTI-COMMUNIST, LEGAL ADULT, MILITIA MURDERS!!
Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q Q_Q

>>656857
Admit you would look a child in the eyes and drive a machete into their skull, you despicable wretch

>>656838
Did you know stalin had a cannibal island?

>>656876
Did you know Gonzalo himself not only proudly admitted to the massacre, but also claimed a higher bodycount than the Peruvian state itself claims, degenerate dog

Damn dude, Norah was a smokeshow, I wonder what she saw in Chalo's ugly mug that she felt it was worth dying for his cause.

Support the People’s War in India!
December 22, 2021
As a contribution to the recent efforts made internationally to support the People’s War in India we re-publish the following document. A statement by the CPI (Maoist) regarding the successful “International Conference in Support of the People’s War in India” held in Hamburg on 24 November 2012.







Raise high the flag of proletarian internationalism!

LAL SALAM for the success of the ” International Conference in Support of the People’s War in India! “




Dear Comrades,

On behalf of our party, the CPI (Maoist), of the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA), of the Revolutionary People’s Committees (RPCs), of the Revolutionary Mass Organizations and revolutionary people in India, we send our warmest revolutionary greetings and heartfelt Lal Salam to all the parties, organizations and individuals, in India or abroad, who made big efforts to build up support and solidarity with New Democratic Revolution (NDR) in India and abroad, held the “International Conference in Support of the People’s War in India” in Hamburg on 24 November 2012 and have made it a success.

Your messages and speeches, made in the true internationalist spirit, had given the necessary moral support to the oppressed peoples and the comrades who fight the battle at the frontline of the world socialist revolution, i.e. in India, in a fierce battle with the class enemies. As each and every one of you knows, here the harsh and repressive conditions exacerbate day by day, so we could not receive timely all your messages, and also the messages that have arrived, have reached us very late. We really are very sorry that we reply so late to your good efforts.

It is particularly encouraging for us to hear that youth, students, women and activists in the cultural field took part actively in the conference in Hamburg. Reports on campaigns from different corners of the world have filled us with warm enthusiasm, and the most important is that all this solidarity made us more humble and full with the feeling of our responsibility towards the world proletariat, and in view of our role in the world socialist revolution. We would like to have taken part in this Campaign and play a role in it, but because of the unprecedented onslaught of the enemy, we could not.

You joint our hands in the hours of sorrow, as we suffered heavy losses at the top level, the martyrdom of Comrades Shyam, Mahesh and Murali in 1999 or the martyrdom of comrades Azad and Kishenji in the recent past. They were all great leaders our revolution and were brutally murdered by the Indian ruling classes with the support of imperialists. Your statement “the struggle of the Maoists in India is our struggle, their defeat is our defeat” has filled our hearts of the confidence and internationalist spirit, that we very much needed to overcome the grief and move on with undaunted courage.

You have correctly said that the way to honor the martyrs of the revolution in India and in the world is to double the support for the people’s war in India, as part of the increasing struggle against imperialism in the world and for the proletarian Internationalism, and we believe that the Conference Hamburg showed to be another step forward in this, i.e. fulfill the commitment you took.

All of you have consistently condemned the Indian government and have protested with sincere indignation against its war on people, demanding its immediate end. The people in the field of the revolutionary movement remember with warmth the international solidarity expressed by the different parties, organizations, individualsto the proletariat and the people of different countries, because this is exactly the kind of support that any real people’s movement should extend.

You have started campaigns around the world to support the people’s war in India, especially in the belly of the imperialist beast, in the countries where most of you are active, and the meaning is very strongly recognized by us and the people fighting in one of the storm centers of the World revolution.


We higly appreciate this kind of support and solidarity and assert firmly that we will give the same support to other Parties and mass organizations fighting in all parts of the world. This type of solidarity gives great confidence to the fighters, assuring that they are not alone in their struggle. It also shows once again very clearly who are the common enemies we face, imperialism, its puppets/lackeys and all sorts of reactionaries all over the world. It promotes the fighting spirit of the people, urges and help them to bring the movement constantly forward. Our party, the PLGA, the RPCs, the revolutionary mass organizations, the revolutionary people and all the progressive and democratic forces of our country want exactly such a Unity and solidarity at internal and international level. This is extremely important to defend and further develop the people’s war.

Each party and organization that expressed solidarity with the ongoing People’s war in India has recognized this task as principal, not only in the context of the revolution in the respective country, but also in the context of being in solidarity with other revolutions. The principle that to advance the revolution in our respective countries is the best way is to stand in solidarity with revolutions in other countries was deeply expressed at this conference and we completely agree with that. We, the Maoists in India, work in the same spirit, and it has always bee the hallmark of our practice since the days of the peasants armed uprising in Naxalbari led by the genuine revolutionaries.

Our party, which further carries on the legacy of Naxalbari, has always seen the New Democratic revolution we carry out in India as an integral part of the world socialist revolution, our Party, ie the Communist Party, as a detachment of the world proletarian vanguard, the PLGA as a detachment of the world proletarian army and the Revolutionary People’s Committees established here as a integral part of the global dictatorship of the proletariat or global socialist state. The uncountable and invaluable victims which the people and the comrades gave in our revolution, are also an integral part of the countless beloved martyrs of the world socialist revolution in each country. With this understanding, the different genuine revolutionary currents in India, from Naxalbari onwards, realized solidarity campaigns to support the revolutions and people’s movements in other countries, incuding the well-known solidarity campaigns with the revolutions in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and the national liberation struggles in Palestine, the Tamils in Sri Lanka, etc., as well as the resistance wars of the Iraqi and Afghan peoples. The latest is our solidarity campaign to support of the New Democratic Revolution in the Philippines, that of our party called for on 22-28 April 2013.

Our party believes that such solidarity campaigns exist and can become stronger only through the advances of the revolutionary movements which, conversely, gain moral and material strength from such solidarity campaigns. In the present world situation all the revolutionaries should deeply understand this interaction, and we think that the Conference in Hamburg could make the right step in this direction, because it was understood there.

The launch of the multi-pronged countrywide offensive under the name Operation Green Hunt, that should be defined most properly as a war on people, and the countless barbaric atrocities committed, as parft of it, by the central and state mercenary reactionary armed forces, have put into rage a wide range of people, of different views, both within India and throughout the world, and led to huge protests and campaigns, which required its immediate withdrawal. Ceaseless efforts at national and international level were made by revolutionary, democratic, progressive forces in support of the fighting people in India and to make pressure on the Indian state to stop the attack. The communist revolutionary forces around the world took the right initiative to build also an international solidarity movement with the people’s war in India. The campaign to end the Operation Green Hunt and the solidarity movement in support of the people’s war in India complement each other, and the Anti-Operation Green Hunt programs should be integral part of the solidarity movement with the Indian revolution, because to defeat this multi-pronged nationwide campaign by the enemy is an immediate task facing us. Our party believes that for the communist forces that support the people’s war in India the need of the hour is to strive to mobilize as broadly as possible the anti-imperialist, democratic and revolutionary forces to strengthen the campaign to end the Operation Green Hunt, aiming to build a worldwide anti-imperialist front, that is already in the process. And the further strengthening the unity of the communist forces around the world would also provide more support for the Indian Revolution.

Imperialism goes through its worst crisis to date and, on the other hand, the struggles of the working class and the other oppressed classes and sections of the people, the national liberation struggles and the people’s wars in the in the semi-feudal and semi-colonial countries grow up. The New Democratic Revolution in the semi-feudal and semi-colonial or neocolonial countries and the socialist revolutions in the capitalist-imperialist countries, which form the two streams of the world socialist revolution, advance at unequal levels, and the Marxism-Leninism-Maoism is more and more grasped by the people as their guiding ideology. People are becoming increasingly aware that the imperialists, their lackeys/puppets ruler in the oppressed countries and all kinds of reactionaries are common enemies of all the oppressed peoples and nations in the world, and join more and more in the fighting ranks. All the basic contradictions in the world and in every country increase and intensify day by day. To be exact, the world situation is excellent for the world the revolution. Thus, the urgent task of communists everywhere in the world is to take profit as well as possible of the excellent objective conditions to politically mobilize and consolidate the oppressed masses and strengthen the subjective forces, because only a strong proletarian party and consolidated masses can successfully make revolution.

The current financial crisis in the world capitalist system is sinking more and more. It intensified the internal contradictions in the capitalist system as a whole and gives birth to huge mass movements, revolts and revolutions. Imperialism is already on the death bed, as our great marxist teacher Lenin analyzed, and the current crisis impressively confirmed this fact. In an unequal capitalist world, the crisis also reflects unequally in the different countries. So we communists should apply the universal theory, the Marxism-Leninism-Maoism in the concrete practice in our respective countries, and our preparations or practice should be consistent to lead our revolution to success. As all of you correctly said, in the capitalist countries movements of workers, Students, youth, women etc. must be developed, and the support to the people’s wars in other countries also is an inseparable international task for each proletarian party.

In response to the great trust in us by all the fraternal parties and Organizations that had the initiative to organize this conference and to make it a success , we promise once more the Revolution in India continue to strengthen and advance to the To fulfill dreams of the martyrs of the world socialist revolution , despite the heavy losses of senior management and the loss of some comrades Areas .

In response to the great trust in us by all the fraternal parties and Organizations that took the initiative to organize this conference and make it a success, we promise once more the revolution in India will continue to strengthen and advance to fulfill the dreams of the martyrs of the world socialist revolution, despite the heavy losses of senior leaders and the loss of some areas.

The International Conference dealt a hard blow to imperialism and the India’s ruling classes and, at the same time, filled with hope the great ocean of the proletariat and the oppressed toiling masses about the New Democratic Revolution in India and the World Socialist Revolution.

On this background, we once again pledge before all of you that we would carry on the lofty aims of all great martyrs of the world proletarian revolution and announce that no amount of fascist repression can subdue the fighting spirit of our Party and the revolutionary people of India, who go laboriously and lengthy on a tortuous path. We will march forward with renewed determination braving all kinds of odds and making sacrifices till the final victory. This is our promise the international proletariat, to all the friends and well-wishers of Indian revolution.

* Long live the proletarian internationalism!

* Long live the unity of the international proletariat, revolutionary and democratic forces and the oppressed nations and peoples of the all over the world!

With revolutionary greetings,

Ganapathy, Secretary, CPI (Maoist )

Don't think that should apply to the killing of the innocent

No, they're not

>>657731

I don't think I wanna join your cult

Why do you keep lying about the killing of children? You're a glowie.

>Wrong, the PCP-SL is a pro LGBT org
The two links are for PCP alone, not, the PCP-SP. Can you read your own sources before posting them?

>3rd link
Seems explicitly pure garbage made by some-ass-ultra garbage-ass-site that hasn't achieved shit in the angloworld from where they speak against Pedro Castillo… how much word was that? 5,346 words 33,126 characters without references? lmao
As the Vietnamese revolutionaries once responded to the Italian communist party (once the biggest one outside the USSR, later went to irrelevance) when this western communist party asked what can they do for the Vietnamese revolution: Do your own revolution in your country.

>>641015
Well, he loved to test weapons the army produced or received. He was a colonel-lieutenant, in that case. I remember once he was in tv live assembling and disassembling a weapon. It's not like he was using grenade launchers at Lorenzo Mendoza's house.

>>641242
t. arm-chair-man Ultra.

>>643278
>They also had 80% approval in Ayacucho, which would be difficult to gain if they were just bloodthirsty assassins
Yeah, that was before the shitty things they did in the 90s.
Read above, the killing of Elena Moyano, among other leftists. These killings happened to end the 80s, starting the 90s. However, the first killings of the SP started at the beginning of the 80s, but no one cared because it was seen as something between indegenous.
No one in this thread has said they were never popular or amassed an important branch, at some point. That would be ignorant, and only the ultras in here are behaving that stupidly.

https://struggle-sessions.com/2019/02/26/enemies-of-the-communist-party-of-peru/
The same link garbage ass attacking Castillo, from the west. Not interested in reading articles that want to deny SP roles in portraying the SP as thugs without posting the sessions the SP fixed their own agenda calling other leftists, even if poor, the enemies of their party.
The archives of the ex-leader, once captured, admitting the assassination of leftist leaders as justifiable, and calling just an "excess" just when they blow up the corpse of, for example, Elena Moyano.

The guys were so stupid, so fucking stupid, even reports portrayed the SP as a CIA plot to take Peru:
<Andreo Matias, C.I.A., Sendero Luminoso: Guerra politica (Lima: El Universo Grafico, 1988).
inb4 muh 7d chess game of the CIA someone publishing the SP is a CIA catspaw
Even if you argue
<muh SP was not violent, they were infiltrated
They are at very least weak and useless for not suppressing their violent factions, they prove themselves not worthy of the Peruvian struggles.

>>641242
Peak irony for a Gonzaloid to say this.

>>657910
so SP weren't violent enough, I agree more libs should have been killed

>>643281
>You think lenin didn't kill other leftists dipshit? Stalin? Mao?
This was already discussed, it becomes boring. Most of the assassinations carried out by Lenin, Mao, Stalin was during the already established socialist governments/states. You don't split the forces before the thing happnes.
You even quote Mao, but Mao in his guerrilla manual he literally says you can't carry out an armed struggle without popular support, which the SP lost completely by their own retarded behavior.
>>643283

Lovely how the thread schifts from SP never killed Moyano to "Moyano was a succdem pig[
t.westernoid by saying succdem pig
In the global south, a mild soccdem is 10 times more radical than your regular Bernie, you moron. Moyano, not only was poor from a poor community but was also a black Peruvian woman in a racist Peru (Peru is a racist hellhole that hated Bolívar being made independent, and all this shows you not only are not even a Peruvian, but you are also a poser).
Moyano, when she called a day before for a peaceful protest against the violent strike that SP wanted to do, she didn't even gather many people.
What can a poor black Peruvian woman that can even gather some hundreds pose as a threat to anyone? But the indignation of her assassination in front of her kids and the corpse blown out gathered the hundred of thousands that would reject the retarded SP.
How many high-ranking government officials were killed by the SP… none?
Oh, wow.

>>656666
>propaganda about boiling babies
You are the only one who brought that shit here. Lmao.

>>657915
> Most of the assassinations carried out by Lenin, Mao, Stalin was during the already established socialist
kek, wrong.

>You even quote Mao, but Mao in his guerrilla manual he literally says you can't carry out an armed struggle without popular support,
they had popular support

>which the SP lost completely by their own retarded behavior.
by CIA subversion which you continue

>Lovely how the thread schifts from SP never killed Moyano to "Moyano was a succdem pig[
t.westernoid by saying succdem pig
she was a sucdem pig like you

Literally a pacifist that propogandised against strikes.

>In the global south, a mild soccdem is 10 times more radical than your regular Bernie
but still not a communist like based Gonzalo

>>657914
Oh, you think you are so edgy and clever calling the people killed by the SP just "liberal".
Liberal, it is but you, for idealizing that SP rise and fall was a CIA op. If an armed struggle was a real threat to the U.S. hegemony, they would just kill the revolutionary, as they did with the Che. But what problems would cause to the CIA a guy that was doing exactly the CIA bidding by killing the poor? what threat can pose from this guy? none?
Liberal.

>>657925
>and fall was a CIA op.
prove it

>>657921
>kek, wrong.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Purge
>What is the great purge

You can't be this illiterate, my trollerino.
>>657921
>had popular support
Had, you said it. Until they started to do more and more of their shitty tactics publicly.
>>657921
>by CIA subversion which you continue
Yeah, is so subversive even people theorized that the SP was a CIA invention to stop revolutions to happen in the Peru.
>>657921

>she was a sucdem pig like you
lmao, at least I live in a revolutionary country, where are you at? any random western country in the basement of your parents?
>>657921
>Literally a pacifist that propogandised against strikes.
When are you going to bomb the U.S. embassy in your western country? when?

>>657931
yes obviosly the great purge happened idiot but the bolsheviks also killed people before they took power.

You are the illiterate.

>Had, you said it. Until they started to do more and more of their shitty tactics publicly.
until the cia propoganda you promote took full effect.

>people theorized that the SP was a CIA invention
people have all sorts of cooky theories, of course, they don't have an ounce of proof, the CIA was the peruvian state. The cia is you libs spreading pro peruvian state propoganda

>lmao, at least I live in a revolutionary country, where are you at? any random western country in the basement of your parents?

>When are you going to bomb the U.S. embassy in your western country? when?
more idpol.

Give your proof fed jacketing lib gusano

>>657934
>also killed people before they took power.
Again, not their own movement, not the same level, and not splitting their forces.
>>657934


>until the cia propoganda you promote took full effect.
How many bankers the SP killed? how many high-rank officials, ministers, presidents, congressmen, the SP killed? none? is that CIA propaganda, too? or is it being "radical" just killing the poor?
>>657934

>idpol
Yeah, don't be idpol and go bomb an embassy or something.

>the CIA was the peruvian state. The cia is you libs spreading pro peruvian state propoganda
How many capitalist pigs, not brown, indigenous and black poor, were killed by the SP? is that CIA propaganda? not accounting one single successful assassination of the real threat that would replace any poor counterrevolutionary killed by any another poor counterrevolutionary?
>>657934

>more idpol.
I think you misspelled armchairing.
lmao, so your wet dreams of what you are proud of, the killings, the bombings, are now idpol? then all hil the great gonzalo chairman of the idpolers.

Quoting an entire book you haven’t read isn’t a source. Why don’t you give us the key info, who the sources are etc, smug redditoid glowie

I will stop for now replying this troll thread.
But remember, comrades. If this troll comes again easily deconstruct his loldead troll posts:
1)He's a liberal:
>>657925
>>657925
>Liberal, it is but you, for idealizing that SP rise and fall was a CIA op. If an armed struggle was a real threat to the U.S. hegemony, they would just kill the revolutionary, as they did with the Che. But what problems would cause to the CIA a guy that was doing exactly the CIA bidding by killing the poor? what threat can pose from this guy? none?
2) Ask him how many capitalists, bankers, ministers, generals were killed. The real threat. Because one can understand some poor proles can be radicalized to the point of being your enemy, but if your strategy to win a violent struggle is to exterminate the poor, rather than de-radicalizing for the right, and then radicalizing towards your movements, without even threatening the lives of the riches, then your armed struggle is doomed to be in the (website) servers of some random western troll living in the basement of their parents.

so you have zero proof it was a cia op then, they killed plenty capitalitsts and opposition politicians you just lie

How many, who? president? generals? banker directors?
lmao, no. the first years their actions went unnoticed precisely because it was something believed to be an infight between indigenous.

Thr Bolsheviks didn't call people to arms like a few months before the February Revolution

>>657981
You should read the book. You evidently haven't, as you can't even point me to any damning evidence. Its a typical glowie talking point by the way, particularly in latin america "oh the leftists are le narcoterroristas" blah blah, meanwhile, it was Montesinos etc who were literally involved with Pablo Escobar, Klaus Barbie and so on, of which there is ample proof of them being CIA dogs since the time of Valesco.

Yes, it is the Peruvian state which glows. The Peruvian state which armed, trained, and deputised the Rondas which you have such a problem with killing, the Peruvian state through which the leftist Valesco was deposed via a coup by his own dog second hand man.

Oh yes, the peaceful and stable and righteous peruvian state was just thrown into le chaos by le evil narco leftists.

STFU. In fact, cool Valesco himself came to power through a military coup, then left power through one, so a bunch of shitlib, CIA cucked, genocidal pigs could come to power, it was at this point in time that SP decided to take matters into their own hands and gained widespread support among the lower classes.

They were not the first guerrilla movement in Peru who decided enough was enough, and be gone with the Americans, but they have been the most successful.

Now you come to me with this dog shit and expect to be taken seriously. How about you read a book before you post it as evidence, fuck even cherry pick a quote like the rest of you dogs are prone to doing, but you it seems are too lazy even for this. Disgusting.

>>657994
>oooh le bolsheviks were literal ghandiites.

ahahaha, shut up bitch

>>658866
>You should read the book. You evidently haven't, as you can't even point me to any damning evidence. Its a typical glowie talking point by the way, particularly in latin america "oh the leftists are le narcoterroristas"

Then explain the correlation between violent actions why it matches the coca production cycle?
I never say other leftist groups or communists are or were narcoterrorists, but when you see this retarded morons were killing members of the United Left (Izquierda Unida) which also had PCP members in it, even mayors of two different towns. I never said the peruvian government wasn't killing people innocents, the army is never a tool of peaceful fall-in-line, and the ruling class knows it, I know it, but that doesn't redeem all the retarded things they did, including using coca to gain their funds. That's the reason the book theorizes that SP was a CIA-DEA catspaw to control the drug, to portray negatively leftists in Peru.

What amuses me is that you haven't been able to bring any of the sessions, meetings, or documents agreements from the shittiest party possible. The delusional party that wanted to stay in secrecy, despite every other single party realized the material conditions for an armed struggle weren't set, not only did not make public their own document which lends itself to speculation what they bragged about (like the killings of the leftist members) or their pursue of abolishing the co-operatives from the agrarian reform era before them or their strategies to achieve their goals. Read it, it is in the two books I have uploaded here: All information available from the SP which portraits them positively never, I say never, publish their own docs and archives. Why? Because they never had the material conditions to achieve shit, and one must ask: Why? for the schizo-lulz? And you wonder why everyone in Peru despises the SP? CIA propaganda isn't powerful enough to unite everyone into hate the SP, the FBI even acknowledged this when the cointelpro was alive trying to smear the communists: There will be always a segment of the population that no matter what you do or you say they will not stop believing in communism. But in Peru,
>>658866
this doesn't happen about the SP. Ask yourself why.
>How about you read a book before you post it as evidence
Like what book? like any of the fucking links coming from a random western basement? lmao
>>658866

>fuck even cherry pick
Says the guy that wants to praise from a random western country a loldead ideology.
I still waiting for you to list the important bourgs, capitalists, bankers, ministers, generals killed by the SP.
No, I am not talking about two mayors killed by SP who were from IU from a miserable rural area, no, I am not talking about thinkers or poor activists.
Talk to me about cherrypicking.

>>659128
Still no evidence given by you

Not even in Christmas gonzaloids are passable.
What evidence you are waiting? About the links of SP and narcotraffic? About how SP didn't kill Moyano (which they totally did and reclaim as their doing)? About they failing in their military strategies and being pushed to the cities by your hated rondas?
I wonder where they get their data, since all glow for them and they are treated like pariahs by all the peruvian left.

>>659718
Any proof at all they were a CIA OP. Proof. Not some crackpot theory. Actual hard evidence, like there is for every other CIA plot, such as supplying arms to the mujihadeen alongside China. Solid evidence.

>debating gonzaloids
literally the same as debating a flat earther, why would you do this?

>>660427
The fact that SP was a CIA op theorized by some is quite telling, as I said. Not even the FARCs in their based years were tagged that way (today, unfortunately, since drugs are their main driven force, some cells are only focused on control drug trafficking), one, because they were never targeted their less radical friends of the political parties, second, because they never wanted to abolish the agrarian cooperatives, and third, because they fought back the paramilitaries that in fact were controlling the drug production.
The fact that coca peak productions exactly matches their peaking activities during their active years proves that everything they did involve drug trafficking (I don't give a fuck the FARC or ELN does that, but they don't go killing their ideological friends if they are moderate), and the fact that you decide to keep not posting the list of high ranks bourgeoisie members of the Peruvian nation, tells me you are enraged for being exposed as one retarded guy.

Not even in Colombia the FARCs are hated this way. Not even the ELN.

>>660473
Sometimes I wake up in the morning wanting to beat a punching bag, kinda a dead horse.

>>660496
I am theorising that you are a CIA agent, it’s telling. My proof is that you repeat cia lies. It’s a more coherent theory than the shit you talk

>>660503
>My proof is that you repeat cia lies
In what world the CIA says they are connected to the SP? because that's exactly what I am saying: Because they were trying to control drug trafficking and smashing IU people, they were favoring CIA. lmao, read yourself. You are stretching your retardness to the point of no shame.
Of course, there are no direct links, except the fluctuation of the coca and their terrorist' actions, like there were with paracos, but they (SP) openly knowing or not were helping CIA's bidding.
That was the point of my posts, smuck.

Central Committee
Communist Party of the Philippines
December 26, 2021

Together with the Filipino proletariat and people, the Communist Party of the Philippines today celebrates with joy and militancy the 53rd anniversary of the Party’s establishment. The CPP Central Committee extends its warmest revolutionary greetings to all Party members and cadres, to all Red fighters of the New People’s Army (NPA), to its allies and friends in the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP), to the Filipino working class and people and all their patriotic, democratic and progressive forces. We extend our militant solidarity as well with communist and revolutionaries around the world who are carrying forward the struggle against imperialism and all forms of oppression and fascist repression.

We pay homage today to all the fallen heroes and martyrs of the Philippine revolution who sacrificed their lives for the cause of national and social liberation. The Central Committee pays special tribute to Ka Oris (Jorge Madlos), Ka Nars (Julius Giron), Ka Manlimbasog (Antonio Cabanatan), Ka Plebe (Eugenia Magpantay) and Ka Boy (Agaton Topacio), Ka Yuni (Rosalino Canubas), Ka Randall Echanis, Ka Fidel Agcaoili and all others who served the Party with utmost proletarian dedication. Their contributions to the Philippine revolution are immeasurable. Their memories will forever inspire proletarian revolutionaries to take up the cudgels of leadership.

The international capitalist system remains in deep crisis. The economies of majority of the countries continue to reel from the global recession last 2020 following supply disruptions due to Covid-19 pandemic-related economic lockdowns and production shutdowns. There is widespread unrest and outbursts of mass struggles as workers and toiling people suffer from widespread joblessness, rising mountains of debt, more burdensome taxes and rising prices.

Aggravated by corruption, national treachery, failed pandemic response and fascist repression of the US-Duterte regime, the socioeconomic and political crisis of the ruling semicolonial and semifeudal system in the Philippines continues to worsen. Out and out neoliberal policies have further deepened the backward, agrarian, semifeudal economy that is dependent on imported consumption and capitals goods and oriented towards the export of low-value added semiprocessed goods, raw materials and cheap labor. They lead to ever deeper crisis.

The broad masses of workers, peasants and other oppressed classes and sectors suffer from worsening forms of exploitation and heightening state terrorism. They have no other recourse but to defend their interests and wage legal mass struggles and revolutionary armed resistance.

The Party is ever determined to lead the Filipino people in their fight against imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat capitalism and in waging people’s democratic revolution to achieve their aspiration for national and social liberation. The national democratic cause and its socialist perspective remain urgent, necessary and viable as the ruling semicolonial and semifeudal system and the international capitalist system continue to inflict more oppression and exploitation on the people as it stumbles from one crisis to another.

The diehard fascists are doing their utmost to crush the Party and all revolutionary forces. They have resorted to the most vicious means of defending and preserving their reign of corruption and plunder in collusion with the US imperialists.

The Central Committee calls on all its forces to maintain constant vigilance and the highest alert to resist and frustrate the declared plans of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) to carry out a “last push” to end the armed revolution. Guided by the universal theory of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Party is ever determined to lead the people’s democratic revolution, shoulder all the difficult tasks and make all the necessary sacrifices in order to surmount all obstacles to frustrate the enemy’s counterrevolutionary war and carry forward the people’s war to ever greater heights.

Deepening imperialist crisis spawns rising conflicts and resistance
The global capitalist system remains deeply mired in crisis and in the clutches of a prolonged recession despite illusions of growth after bouncing at the bottom of a global economic collapse last year. The world economy shrank by 3.1% in 2020 as measured in gross domestic product (GDP) as a result of border closures, supply disruptions, production shutdowns and other lockdown measures to contain the Covid-19 pandemic starting the early part of 2020. Economic recovery remains volatile and marked by rising gaps between the advanced capitalist countries and the backward economies.

Advanced capitalist countries registered rapid economic rebound from the start of second half of 2020, tapering off in the first half of 2021, but which ultimately slowed down by the third quarter of the year. The Covid-19 pandemic continues to loom large and threaten manufacturing and commercial activity. The emergence of new variants have resulted in new surges of cases. The easing of restrictions and public health protocols in the US and Europe around the first half of the year have proven premature as they face threats of new surges of infections.

By the end of the year, half of economies are projected to remain below 2019 or pre-pandemic levels. Recoveries are concentrated in advanced capitalist countries with 90% having recovered and projected to reach pre-pandemic levels of economic output by 2023 and 2024. More than 75% of direct investments in the first half of 2021 went to “developed economies.” In contrast, only 30% of undeveloped countries will register growth, and economic output of majority are expected to remain 5.5% below pre-pandemic levels by 2024. Not until 2025 is global economic output expected to reach pre-pandemic levels.

On the surface, the grossly uneven economic rebound from the 2020 collapse is due to the highly unequal distribution and shortages in the supply of vaccines, allowing for the emergence of new variants. While up to to 70% of people in the US and 62% in Europe have been inoculated, only 4% of people in low-income countries have received vaccinations. In addition to the unequal distribution, vaccine supplies are also insufficient because of the refusal of pharmaceutical companies to open source manufacturing technology in order to monopolize production. From an original target of 2 billion, the World Health Organizations’ Covax Facility was able to provide only 1.4 billion dosages to less developed countries.

The grossly uneven economic rebound, however, is more fundamentally a result of, and has further aggravated, the wide gap between the advanced capitalist countries and the backward, agrarian and non-industrial economies. While centers of capitalism mobilized large amounts of finance capital and monopolized access to vaccines, the already debt-burdened semicolonial and underdeveloped countries were forced to borrow hundreds of billions of dollars and were edged out of the vaccine market. The destruction of forces of production brought about by economic lockdowns is disproportionately worse in the backward countries.

The pandemic provided the excuse for the imperialist governments, banks and financial institutions to pour unprecedented amounts of fiscal and monetary stimulus money on the pretext of reviving economies. Marking a strong shift of imperialist countries led by the US towards relief and recovery spending, at least \$14 trillion in stimulus funds were infused in 2020 and 2021 for subsidies, emergency loans, state-led investments, tax cuts and other fiscal measures. More than 90% of stimulus funds were concentrated in six countries: the US (\$5.9 trillion), Japan (\$2.9 trillion), Germany (\$1.5 trillion), UK (\$956 billion), France (\$722 billion), and China (\$710 billion). Substantial amounts of stimulus funds, although much less compared to the main imperialist countries, were also infused in South Korea (\$263 billion), India (\$215 billion), Brazil (\$206 billion), Russia (\$85 billion) and Indonesia (\$38 billion).

The biggest beneficiaries of these stimulus funds are the monopoly bourgeoisie in finance, technology and pharmaceuticals under the smokescreen of funding vaccination efforts, providing emergency relief for workers, as well as spending for climate change mitigation. Large infusions of state funds are driving debt levels to unprecedented heights. This has amplified the historically largest and fastest increase in debt levels around the world over the past decade. By middle of this year, global debt had risen to \$296 trillion, 13.9% higher since the start of the pandemic. It is anticipated to surpass the \$300 trillion level by the end of the year. The amount of global debt represents 353% of global GDP, more than 26% more massive compared to 280% ratio in 2008. Government borrowing and quantitative easing measures are driving public debt to higher levels, reaching 123% of GDP in advanced capitalist countries in 2021, and 63% of less developed economies.

The Covid-19 pandemic further deepened the global crisis of the capitalist system and heightened its contradictions. Amid heightened capitalist competition and anarchy in production, the giant monopoly bourgeoisie continue to accumulate greater amounts of capital through the intensification of the exploitation of workers with the application of artificial intelligence, robotics, computers and other technologies. The pandemic-induced recession, supply shortage and disruptions in shipping and deliveries have resulted in widespread destruction or idling of productive forces especially in the underdeveloped economies.

The economic crises and widespread destruction of productive forces lead to further concentration of capital, especially in banks, financial institutions and stock markets. This also takes the form of bankruptcies, as well as mergers and acquisitions, where bigger capitalists gobble up the weak and small. The number of bankruptcies since the pandemic were kept low by massive infusion of state funds but is anticipated to surge in the near future. Up to 16% of small and medium-sized enterprises in advanced European and Asia-Pacific countries are anticipated to go bankrupt in the next few years, shedding 20 million jobs. Globally, the number of bankruptcies is anticipated to rise by 15% as state stimulus funds begin to dry up even as economies continue to stagnate or wallow in recession. The first nine months of 2021 saw a record high 44,000 mergers and acquisitions worth \$4.4 trillion, surpassing the previous annual record of \$4.3 trillion in 2015, and anticipated to rise further to \$6 trillion by the end of the year.

By the end of the year, it is estimated that there will be an equivalent of 125 million full-time jobs less than pre-pandemic levels. Global unemployment rates remain high as more than 220 million workers (or 6.3%) are set to be unemployed by the end of 2021, slightly higher compared to end of 2020. It is anticipated to fall to 5.7% in 2022 which is still above the 5.4% unemployment rate in 2019. Between 119 million to 124 million people across the world are estimated to have sunk deep into extreme poverty since 2020, driving the total to 711 million people. An additional 161 million experienced hunger, raising the number to 811 million people.

On the other hand, the richest billionaires in the world continue to accumulate wealth. The handful of ultra-billionaires have an average wealth of \$147 billion. This year, the wealth of the richest 500 people rose to \$7.6 trillion, up by 31% from the previous year. In the US, the wealth of billionaires surged by more than 70% or \$3 trillion, the highest growth ever. While people suffer from hunger and social deprivation, these super-rich people throw away money in conspicuous, and often, whimsical spending, including traveling by private jets and yachts, and rocketing to space for multibillion dollar joyrides.

The centers of global capitalism remain in recession or continue to stagnate. The US government under Biden is set to embark on a multi-trillion dollar neo-Keynesian spending program in a bid to improve the decrepit infrastructure and revive the American capitalist economy which has been caught in an increasingly frequent cycle of economic crises, recessions and slow growth under the neoliberal policy regime. All in all, the US government plan to spend around \$5.5 trillion to fund its American Rescue Plan, American Jobs Program and American Families Plan, which basically is an expansion of the “America First” policy of the Trump government. The large amounts of state capital infusion can artificially stimulate the US economy, especially in the short term, but also increases the risk of rising public debt and high inflation rates. This year, US federal debt is now nearly 130% of its GDP, higher than its World War II peak of 120%.

These programs are invariably described as “green” and “progressive,” but fundamentally aim to provide the US big bourgeoisie with the economic and social infrastructure to draw in investments and boost capitalist production at the expense of American workers. It aims to put the US economy in a position to reassert global economic dominance in the face of the continued growth of China.

There is markedly slowing growth in China over the past five years as rapid expansion of its capacity as producer of electronic components, steel and other construction material saturated global markets. Efforts of the Chinese government to unload surplus capital and commodities are faltering. Construction and steel output declined in 2021. There is a broad slowdown on government spending as regional and provincial governments opt out of funds allocated by the central government for infrastructure over fears of insufficient returns and accumulating debt. Production slowed down amid state-imposed energy shortages forcing some factories to shutdown in September, as well as repeated lockdowns in a vain attempt to keep Covid-19 cases down to zero. In an attempt to bolster investments, the Chinese government recently ordered the release of \$188 billion from banks.

China is on the throes of a financial crisis in the aftermath of US cutdown of imports and the collapse of China’s real estate market exacerbated by liquidity problems of the giant property company Evergrande Group which recently defaulted repeatedly on its massive \$300 billion debt. In the guise of defending socialist principles, the ruling Chinese government mounted a crackdown against monopoly tech companies, targeting primarily those companies identified with state monopoly capitalists opposing the Xi Jinping ruling clique.

After suffering a 6.1% contraction in 2020, the European Union boasts of having quickly rebounded with economic output returning to pre-pandemic levels. Growth in EU is expected to reach 5% in 2021, but slow down to 4.3% and 2.5% in 2022 and 2023 respectively. Despite growth rebound, unemployment still high and above pre-pandemic levels. Consumer spending is repressed by highest inflation rates in 13 years. The EU is particularly affected by even greater over-reliance on overseas manufacturing supply chains than US and China, and on foreign energy sources.

Japan, the third largest capitalist country, continues to muddle through decades-long economic stagnation. The Japanese economy contracted by 28.2% in April-June 2020 which marked 19 months of downturn. Although it rebounded after June 2020, the Japanese economy again contracted in January-March and July-September this year. The economic crisis in Japan is aggravated by the global slump in the demand for Japanese exports of electronic equipment, vehicles and car parts.

The economically backward countries, including the Philippines, are facing ever worsening socioeconomic conditions in the face of the sharp rise in debt levels to finance the purchase of vaccines, tax cuts for big corporations, social subsidies and blatant corruption. Since last year, the backward economies have suffered from massive number of bankruptcies of small and informal enterprises, and historic rates of unemployment, poverty and hunger. The imperialist debt grip has tightened on semicolonial and underdeveloped economies. Further neoliberal austerity measures, additional taxes, and trade and investment liberalization policies are set to be imposed by the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in the coming years which are set to cause even greater burden on the people.

Inter-imperialist conflicts continue to intensify amid persistent crisis of the global capitalist system. There is a heating up of economic and trade conflicts, as well as arms race, military preparations, proxy wars and saber-rattling in different parts of the globe.

The US continues to heighten its anti-China policy and actions. It has imposed further sanctions on Chinese companies purportedly engaged in spying and using prison labor, with the aim of boosting domestic production and the demand for American products. The trillions of dollars that the Biden government plans to spend in the coming years seek to develop the infrastructure and workforce to induce domestic investments and cut down on its dependence on imported electronic components. The US, however, must contend with the higher costs of labor in the US either by pressing down on wages or intensifying the exploitation of American workers, especially migrant workers and workers in rural areas. It remains to be seen whether Biden’s neo-Keynesian measures will succeed in decoupling the US from China and its vast oceans of cheap labor and suppliers of components without being shut off from its vast market of consumers of US-branded electronic gadgets and other commodities.

China is also investing billions of dollars to accelerate its research to develop technology for the production of new generation of semiconductors. The US is threatening China’s access to semiconductor technology by further strengthening its military ties with and military presence in Taiwan, which is the world’s largest producer of electronic components.

Oil production and trade remain a flashpoint among the capitalist powers. Monopoly oil producers Saudi Arabia, Russia and the OPEC took advantage of rising demand for fuel when it coordinated to limit crude oil production to push prices to \$85 per barrel in October, the highest levels over the past seven years. Burdened by shortages and rising fuel costs, the US, China, Japan, South Korea and others released their reserves of diesel and gasoline in an attempt to push down prices. Coupled with renewed fears of another global surge of Covid-19 infections, oil prices were pulled to below \$70 per barrel at the start of December.

Leading imperialist countries continue to engage in an increasingly furious arms race. Global military spending rose by 2.6% to \$1,981 billion led by the US, China, India, Russia and the United Kingdom. With a \$753 billion military budget for 2022, the US accounts for around 39% of the global military budget. There is a race among the imperialist powers to develop hypersonic missiles, anti-satellite weapons, lasers, nuclear weapons, attack drones, robot soldiers, stealth jet fighters, submarines and other military technologies.

In September, the US completed its withdrawal from Afghanistan after the defeat of its 20-year occupation of the country. There are no plans, however, to reduce the strength of its overseas military bases and forces. If any, the US military seeks to further increase its strength as it seeks to build up its presence in both Asia and Europe, while maintaining presence in Africa, West Asia and other global regions. In line with its declaration of China being its “greatest strategic threat,” the US continues to increase its military presence in East Asia by deploying its biggest naval carrier groups to the East China Sea, South China Sea and Taiwan straits in the guise of “freedom of navigation operation,” while stepping up base and military facilities construction in the Philippines, Australia, Guam, and elsewhere. It continues to push new military alliances such as the Quad (with the UK, India and Japan) and the AUKUS (with the UK and Australia). It recently held the farcical Summit of Democracies in its push to draw in support to encircle and isolate China and Russia.

The US is also intensifying military pressure against Russia, conducting aerial sorties near Russia’s eastern borders. On US prodding, the UK sailed its naval carrier in the Black Sea near Crimea, provoking Russia to fire missiles; and Germany blocked the construction of a major Russian gas pipeline. The US continues to extend military assistance to Ukraine which has served as US buffer to counter expanding Russian influence and hegemony towards Europe, even as Russia continues to give military support to the Russian regions in Donbass, Ukraine. Amid threats of Russian invasion of Ukraine, the US has increased deployment of its military forces in its military bases in Germany.

Russia and China have established a de facto military alliance against the US and NATO with agreements for joint military exercises and joint patrols. They have conducted joint naval patrols in the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea. China now has the world’s largest navy, although it remains vastly inferior to the US military in terms of aircraft carriers.

The imperialist powers continue to carry out proxy wars in the Middle East, Africa and other parts of the globe. With tacit US support, Israel has repeatedly attacked Palestine with missiles and aerial bombs. It has staged a series of assassinations and is threatening to carry out an outright military attack against Iran. Saudi Arabia continues to pound Yemen with bombs supplied by the US. The Syrian people continue to suffer from aerial bombardments by US forces.

Millions of people have been displaced by US-instigated wars and conflicts in Syria, Kurdistan, Libya, Ethiopia, Sudan, Afghanistan and other countries. In the first half of this year, close to 90,000 people were forced to cross seas to seek refuge in Europe and other countries but are being prevented entry. In violation of international laws protecting refugees, countries are spending large amounts to build border walls and push back refugees resulting in people dying in precarious sea travel.

The global capitalist crisis has unleashed worsening conditions of oppression and exploitation inciting the broad masses of people across the world to wage mass struggles and various forms of resistance. There was a marked rise of workers strikes this year, especially during October in the US, where workers are demanding wage increases and better working conditions. There were also nationwide workers demonstrations and strikes in France denouncing excessively low wages, as well as a major strike by railway workers in Germany, and university staff across the UK.

There is widespread legitimate concern over and opposition to repressive pandemic-related lockdown measures, mandatory vaccination and other discriminatory policies. Progressive and revolutionary forces, however, have been unable to take initiative and leadership to denounce big pharmaceutical companies for monopolizing production, supplies and overpricing, and for refusing to open-source their vaccine formula to allow independent scientists to review the efficacy and safety of vaccines, serve as basis for the promotion of mass vaccination, and to provide people with information to enable them to make an informed judgement. This has allowed right-wing groups to promote anti-scientific and backward ideas and incite protest actions and riots in a number of countries in Europe and other parts of the world.

In India, mammoth demonstrations by several million peasants and farmers demanding an end to neoliberal agricultural measures broke out in November 2020, paving the way for year-long camp-out protests of hundreds of thousands outside the capital, which successfully forced the Narenda Modi regime to repeal the anti-peasant agricultural laws. Major mass protest actions by workers and toiling people have also been mounted in Myanmar, Thailand, Brazil, Palestine, Sudan, El Salvador, Colombia, Uruguay, Russia, Serbia and other countries manifesting people’s grievances against fascist tyranny, neoliberal measures and policies and imperialist intervention, and demanding democratic reforms. Across China, several hundred strikes by workers demanding payment of wages and transport workers protesting unfair labor practices have spontaneously erupted.

A “pink tide” has risen again in Latin America with the election of anti-imperialist governments in Peru, Argentina, Bolivia, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica and Chile, and which are expected to further rise with the strong possibility of anti-US candidates winning in Brazil, and other countries in the region. The anti-imperialist governments of Cuba and Venezuela defeated recent US attempts at subversion and “regime change.” With its advanced public health system, the avowed socialist government of Cuba successfully developed and produced its own Covid-19 vaccine, inoculated almost 100% of its population, and shared its knowledge with other Venezuela, Iran and other countries. Despite punishing US sanctions, Iran and North Korea remain militant in defending their country’s sovereignty.

Revolutionary armed resistance continues to be waged in India, Manipur, West Papua, Turkey, Syria, Kurdistan, Myanmar, Colombia, Peru and other countries to fight fascist oppression and foreign aggression. In India, an epic people’s war being waged by the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army continues to advance under the leadership of the Communist Party of India (Maoist).

Amid severe crisis, hundreds of millions of oppressed and exploited people are seeking communist leadership to help provide direction and inspiration in their fight against imperialism and all forms of reaction in the countries. Standing and new communist groups and parties built on the foundations of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism find themselves in very favorable conditions across the world to carry out the work of arousing, organizing and mobilizing the people and waging mass struggles and armed resistance.

Worsening crisis under US-Duterte regime is generating greater resistance
The semicolonial and semifeudal system in the Philippines remains in chronic crisis aggravated by the pandemic-related economic collapse last year and the militarist, debt-driven and neoliberal response to the public health emergency. The rotten core of the ruling political system is more and more exposed as it increasingly sheds it bourgeois democratic trappings with the ruling clique resorting to brazen state terrorism, paving the way for the rising power of the military.

The principal means of production remain backward, agrarian and non-industrial, are geared towards the export of raw materials, cheap labor and semiprocessed commodities, and are dependent on imported capital goods and manufactured products. The prolonged lockdowns leading to the wholesale collapse of production in 2020 thoroughly exposed the moribund state of the economic system and its inability to self-sustain and produce the necessaries for the people. Continuing global capitalist slowdown has caused the sharp decline of domestic export-oriented semi-manufacturing, further bloating the share of agriculture and low productive sectors, and aggravating the unequal exchange of cheap raw materials and low value-added semiprocessed exports and high-value imports. Philippine agriculture is being ruined by large-scale importation of rice and other food products and the stashing away abroad of income from fruit exports.

The long deteriorating socioeconomic conditions of workers, peasants, the semiproletariat, rank-and-file employees and small professionals have worsened sharply since last year. They are in increasingly dire straits amid high rates of unemployment, loss of income, low wages, skyrocketing prices of food, fuel, other basic commodities and medical care, continuing school closures, rural dislocation, overseas travel restrictions, onerous taxes, homelessness and demolition of urban poor communities.

The World Bank-trained technocrats of the Duterte regime are hyping-up the GDP growth in the first months of 2021 when in fact this is just a rebound from the 9.6% economic contraction of 2020, the historic worst for the Philippines, brought about by gross mismanagement of the pandemic situation marked by one of the longest lockdown in the world.

Most economic sub-sectors remain 2 to 11 years behind in terms of lost economic output, especially hotel and restaurants, transportation and storage, real estate and other services. Manufacturing is still behind by four years. The output of agriculture, forestry and fishing sub-sectors is two years behind.

The Duterte regime is set to leave a legacy of government bankruptcy brought about by lost revenues due to lockdowns and tax cuts for large corporations, the wasteful and corruption-riddled infrastructure program, massive purchases and upgrade of overpriced war matériel for its armed forces and large-scale bureaucratic and military corruption. It has resorted to huge amounts of borrowing that will be paid for by Filipinos in the coming years in the form of more burdensome taxes.

The Duterte regime borrowed ₱2.75 trillion in the first ten months of 2021, surpassing the ₱2.74 trillion total borrowings in 2020, pushing the country’s debt-to-GDP ratio to 63.1%. Philippine public debt is set to reach ₱13.42 trillion by the end of 2022, more than twice the country’s ₱5.9 trillion debt in June 2016. Claims that government borrowed heavily to finance its pandemic response is false. Funds specifically for Covid-19 response (₱608 billion under Bayanihan 1 and 2 law and ₱100 billion under the 2021 budget) comprise only around 13% of total borrowings since 2020.

Despite achieving “high growth” after the opening the economy starting the third quarter of the year, understated estimates of “official” unemployment remain at 3.5 million in October 2021, which is still 1.1 million more than the number of jobless in January 2020. It is estimated that at least 1.4 million Filipinos lost their full-time jobs, including 621,000 employed in private establishments. Official government statistics claim that 1.3 million more people were employed. But most of these were recorded in agriculture (magnified by sellers of ornamental plants) and wholesale and retail trade (fueled by online selling). This number is bloated by sharp increases in the number self-employed (758,000 increase), those employed in family-operated farm or businesses (354,000 increase) and unpaid family workers (541,000 increase). Employment in manufacturing, accommodation and food services, and transportation and storage remain lower than pre-pandemic levels.

The unemployment figures of the reactionary government are understated through statistical redefinition and manipulation, by dropping at least 3.5 million from the official “labor force” and considering as “employed” those who are actually unemployed. The false figures of unemployment are based on false base figures and play up periodic fluctuations. As of October, there are at least 15.2 million to 17.7 million unemployed and underemployed Filipinos, out of a real labor force of 48.5 million.

Due to the lockdowns and lack of state subsidies, around 160,000 small to medium-scale enterprises were forced to shut down. There is widespread conversion of agricultural lands to pave the way for the expansion of plantations, and operations of mining companies, and energy, infrastructure and tourism projects. Combined with rising costs of production and low farm-gate prices, this is forcing the bankruptcy and displacement of farmers in their hundreds of thousands.

Widespread corruption involving massive amounts of public funds continue to be uncovered. At the height of the pandemic, Duterte used emergency powers to realign tens of billions of pesos of public funds to line the pockets of his big bureaucrat capitalist officials and favored corporations. Government purchases of vaccines amounting to more than ₱82.5 billion (a large percentage of which were bought from China) were made without public scrutiny. The biggest cases have been exposed as involving Duterte’s closest officials and military officers. One of the most heinous directly involve Duterte himself and his close officials where billions of pesos of public funds meant for pandemic response were used to purchase of overpriced face masks, face shields and other equipment through Duterte’s dummy corporation Pharmally. Billions of pesos are also being mulcted by Duterte’s top security officials in the National Task Force (NTF)-Elcac where funds are poured into anomalous infrastructure projects under the guise of counterinsurgency. Reports made public by state auditors indicate anomalies and cases of corruption in almost all government agencies.

Inflation rates have been rising since last year and is already the highest in three years. Prices of food and other basic commodities have been steadily moving up due to manipulation of prices by big bourgeois traders, taxes and incessant increases in fuel prices since the start of the year. Commodity prices today are already at least 20% higher than at the start of the Duterte regime, pressing down on the purchasing power of the peso. With the daily minimum wage having gone up by less than 10% means minimum wage earners are actually 10% poorer today because of inflation.

There is a widening gulf between the ruling classes and the broad masses. Less than 1% of the population own 40% of the country’s total wealth. There are 2,919 peso billionaires who have a combined wealth of ₱8 trillion, 27.5% of which (₱2.2 trillion) is concentrated in the hands of the biggest 17 billionaires. The richest among them are big bourgeois compradors in banks, export-import business, mining, plantations, real estate, utilities (power, water and telecommunications), and private and public construction, who continue to support and benefit from the tyrannical rule of Duterte. They accumulate wealth through political patronage that earn them favorable government contracts in connivance with the bureaucrat capitalists. They squander their money for their mansions, sports cars, private jets, leisure travel, parties, drugs, jewelry, signature wear and bags and gadgets. The broad masses of the people are outraged at the conspicuous spending of people who rarely work while the majority of the people who toil daily have barely anything to serve in their dinner table.

The acute crisis of the ruling semicolonial and semifeudal system is making it impossible for the reactionary ruling classes to rule in the old way of power sharing and civilian supremacy over the military. On the one hand, the sharing of power and privilege between the different reactionary cliques is increasingly untenable as economic and state resources are becoming more and more scarce and bureaucrat capitalist have become even more avaricious. On the other hand, the ruling state has resorted to further expanding its military and police in the vain attempt to suppress the rise of mass resistance and seek to end the persevering armed revolutionary challenge through the force of armed superiority.

Under the Duterte regime, the reactionary political system is rapidly shifting towards open tyrannical rule, militarization of civilian functions, and brazen state terrorism. Under Duterte’s tyranny, the trappings of “checks and balance” and parliamentary processes are routinely trampled. Human rights are violated with impunity by state armed forces and police. Active and retired military generals are playing an expanded political role in defining state policies and programs, running the bureaucracy and controlling resources and programs of state agencies. The scheme to effect the full restoration of the Marcoses, now in full swing, marks the further degeneration of the ruling political system, and will pave the way for the relentless abuse of power.

The Duterte tyrannical regime is utterly detested by the Filipino people for its fascism and state terrorism, bureaucrat capitalism, national treachery, and for causing the collapse of the backward and agrarian economy resulting in the sharp deterioration of the socioeconomic conditions of the toiling masses.

Under the Duterte regime, state armed forces have carried out a sustained campaign of vicious attacks against the Filipino people in the form of its sham “war on drugs,” its war against the Moro people and counterrevolutionary war against the democratic, progressive, patriotic and revolutionary forces. Duterte and his minions in congress railroaded the draconian Anti-Terrorism Law (ATL) which blatantly violates basic democratic rights in the guise of “fighting terrorism.” On Duterte’s incitement, the reactionary armed forces, police and armed agents have brutally attacked the national democratic forces. Gross violations of human rights run rampant. Duterte has earned the international disrepute as a blood-thirsty fascist tyrant. His crimes against humanity in connection with his sham drug war are now being investigated by the International Criminal Court (ICC).

In exchange for promises of loans to finance infrastructure projects involving anomalous government contracts, the Duterte regime has shamelessly surrendered the country’s sovereignty to China by allowing it to reclaim land, build military facilities and deploy its naval and air forces in areas within the Philippines’ territorial waters and exclusive economic zone. It has deliberately refused to assert and defend the country’s rights under the United Nations Convention on the Laws of the Seas (UNCLOS) and under the 2016 judgement of the International Arbitral Tribunal in favor of the Philippines against China. Duterte is a traitor in being complicit with China in its military encroachment and driving away of Filipinos from their own fishing areas resulting in dwindling catch.

While kowtowing to China, Duterte remains the chieftain of the neocolonial client-state under all-round US political, economic, cultural and military domination. The US imperialists perpetuates its hegemony primarily by controlling, continuing indoctrination, training, financing and provision of weapons of the reactionary armed forces. While the Philippines remains under US imperialism, the dominant imperialist power in the Philippines, China has cultivated close relations with segments of the ruling classes using bribery, economic partnership, and infusion of large amounts of funds in an effort to undermine US dominant influence.

Duterte has caused the aggravation of the economic crisis of the semicolonial and semifeudal system and bankruptcy of the government by implementing IMF neoliberal policy-dictates. He further liberalized trade and investment to the detriment of local business, workers and agricultural producers. He ordered the liberalization of rice and pork imports, implemented tax cuts for big corporations, buried the country deep in mountains of debt, entered onerous and anomalous infrastructure contracts, imposed additional taxes on the people, caused the depression of wages and allowed large-scale land-use conversions.

The Duterte regime continues to mismanage the country’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic. He assigned military generals instead of medical experts to lead government efforts to respond to the public health emergency. The country was placed under an oppressive lockdown for more than one year and a half, shutting down production, business enterprises, schools and cultural activities. Amid the pandemic, efforts to strengthen the public health system were gravely lacking. Even now, there is no free and mass testing, and no reliable system of contact tracing which allowed infections to spread rampantly over the course of more than one year. The release of benefits and emergency funds for nurses and health workers were delayed by months causing severe distress among the medical frontliners. Over the course of the year-long lockdown, the regime distributed subsidies amounting to less than a month’s wages, which pushed millions of families over the threshold of poverty and hunger.

The country has an insufficient supply of vaccines. Only just above 40% of Filipinos (or 46.95 million as of last week of December) have been vaccinated, leaving out people in rural areas. With only 1.34 million having received booster shots, waning vaccine efficacy in the coming months will pose a problem especially with emerging variants proving to be more infectious. There remains no significant effort to improve the infrastructure of the public health system, even ordering the reduction of the budget for some medical facilities involved in frontline pandemic response work. Government figures show a significant reduction in the number of daily new cases of Covid-19 starting November which can be attributed to vaccinations as well as other factors. With the emergence of new Covid-19 variants, fears of uncontrolled surges of new infections in the Philippines remain due to the government’s lack of efforts to strengthen the public health system. There are no efforts to push for local production of vaccines nor support for Filipino scientists to develop Covid-19 vaccines, making the country dependent on imported vaccines. In violation of basic democratic rights, Duterte’s officials and big business have made vaccination mandatory, even as supplies remain grossly inadequate. Big pharmaceutical companies have kept secret the formula and technology for the production of experimental vaccines. This does not serve well the efforts to convince people of the safety and efficacy of the vaccines and makes mandating them an authoritarian act. It also obscures the fact that there are not enough vaccines, and that there is a lack of effort to persuade and educate people about the vaccines.

The 2022 elections is set to expose the worst aspects of the ruling political system marked by patronage, money politics, fraud and deception. At least seven major political parties are running for key posts indicating the deep fractiousness of the ruling classes. Not any of these parties succeeded in forming a complete slate for the senate.

Duterte aims to perpetuate himself and their political dynasty in power in order to continue amassing wealth through corruption and evade the investigation and prosecution by the ICC. His scheme involves rigging the 2022 elections to manipulate results in favor of his chosen candidates, in the same way that the 2019 elections were rigged to install his minions in the senate and the lower house of congress. Duterte’s cheating machine is in place having appointed majority of the officials of the Commission on Elections and the “automated counting system.” The option to impose an outright fascist dictatorship remains on the table and may be resorted to if he could not manage his political alliance to his favor or if could not stem the rising protests in the coming months leading to the elections.

The Duterte ruling clique has consolidated its alliance with the Arroyos, Marcoses and Estradas, icons of tyranny of the Philippine reactionary system, who represent the most brutal and corrupt cliques of the ruling classes. They have so far managed their conflicts over power arrangements and sharing of government contracts, although Duterte has openly expressed dissatisfaction that his daughter was not chosen to run as president. The most moneyed of these cliques, the Marcoses, now dominate this alliance through the presidential and vice-presidential tandem of Ferdinand Marcos Jr and Sara Duterte-Carpio. Vast amounts of resources plundered through a combined 20 years of tyrannical rule of their fathers are being poured into their electoral campaign. In a show of preference for the most brutal and corrupt reactionary clique, a number of oligarchs, including old martial law cronies, are closing ranks behind Marcos. Other big bourgeois compradors, fearing reprisals in the event of a second Marcos dictatorship, are also pouring funds into the Marcos Jr. campaign.

The biggest opposition challenge to the Marcos-Duterte tandem is being posed by Vice President Leni Robredo, presidential candidate of the Liberal Party. She, however, has chosen to distance herself from the national democratic forces that have a proven electoral base of at least several million votes. She generated further antipathy of the patriotic and democratic forces by endorsing Duterte’s NTF-Elcac in trying to securing the support of the military. She can still win the support of the patriotic and democratic forces by further strengthening her opposition to the Duterte regime and against the return of the Marcoses, and by making a clear stand for free land distribution and national industrialization, to free all political prisoners, put an end to the AFP’s scorched-earth tactics, for wage increases and ending contractualization and seriously pursuing peace negotiations with the NDFP.

The political opposition must endeavor to generate a million-strong mass movement against the Marcos-Duterte tandem to thwart the ruling clique’s scheme to rig the 2022 elections. By doing so, they can clearly expose the manipulation of the results when these are rigged in favor of the Marcoses and Dutertes. The broad mass movement of patriotic and democratic forces must be fully prepared to mount mass protest actions in order to frustrate and defeat the schemes of the Dutertes to rig the elections, and in the event of a Marcos-Duterte steal, prevent it from consolidating power, and challenging its reign from day one until its ouster.

The Duterte regime has carried out a relentless counterrevolutionary war against the patriotic, democratic, progressive and revolutionary forces in its desperation to preserve the rotten ruling system and perpetuate itself in power. Under the doctrine of counterinsurgency and “anti-terrorism”, the fascists have cast a wide net of suppression hitting all directions and targeting broad segments of society. These attacks have intensified since the Covid-19 pandemic where the entire country was placed under police and military control in the guise of managing public health.

The National Task Force (NTF)-Elcac, the Duterte civil-military junta, now serves as the nerve center of the regime’s campaign of state terror. In violation of the principle of distinction under international humanitarian law, it has red-tagged entire communities, legal organizations, progressives, civic groups, journalists, members of the academe, politicians, church people, as well as international organizations.

With the ATL, the NTF-Elcac has blurred the line between armed combatants and civilians. It has subjected leaders and activists of mass organizations and communities to massacres and extrajudicial killings, surveillance, abductions, torture, unlawful arrests and detention, threats and intimidation and other gross violations of human rights. It is forcing workers to disaffiliate their unions from national democratic centers of militant unionism. It has forced peasant organizations to disband and form AFP-initiated fascist organizations that are accommodating to the interests of mining companies and big plantations.

In the countryside, the AFP has been waging a war targeting civilians in the guise of its “community support program” or “barangay development program” where residents are subjected to the worst forms of repression. Goaded by NTF-Elcac’s promise of ₱20 million per “cleared” barangay, combat units of the AFP have gone berserk in its “surrender drive” in rural villages. The AFP imposes martial law on communities and employs terror tactics that instill fear among the civilians. People’s basic civil and political rights are routinely violated. They are subjected to endless intimidation. Soldiers enter and search homes without warrants. Residents are repeatedly summoned to military camps to “clear” their names and subjected to hours-long interrogations. People are coerced to “identify” their neighbors as “NPA supporters.” Operating units of the AFP impose food and economic blockades. Farmers and farm workers are prevented from working in their fields.

The AFP has increasingly employed aerial bombardments to terrorize civilians, and make the people bow to their military superiority, in brazen violation of international humanitarian law. Mountainous areas, farms and areas adjacent to communities have been targets of 500-lb bombs dropped from fighter aircraft, rockets fired from attack helicopters and artillery shelling. Aerial and artillery bombardment and strafing are inherently indiscriminate and endangers the lives of civilians and destroys their property. The AFP’s aerial bombing drive has forced tens of thousands of people to evacuate their communities out of terror. Children and old people, especially, are gravely traumatized by the AFP’s bombing drives. A number of civilians have died as a result of panic and terror. Bombs dropped by the AFP have damaged farms and ravaged forests which also serve as sources of food, water, medicine and livelihood of peasants and minority peoples.

The heightened political and military repression indicate the growing desperation of the ruling reactionary regime to stop the growth of the revolutionary armed struggle. Billions upon billions of pesos of people’s money are being squandered for the purchase of jet fighters, attack helicopters, drones, bombs, rockets, cannons, artillery, rifles and bullets, as well as GPS trackers, surveillance cameras and other equipment. The AFP has promised to further intensify its military offensives in the coming months with its oft-repeated declarations of “crushing” the NPA before the end of Duterte’s term.

These declarations are all in vain. Despite some NPA units suffering some losses, the great majority of the guerrilla units of the NPA have rendered the enemy’s superiority ineffective and have successfully grown in strength and expanded their base of support.

The ever worsening social conditions are inciting the broad masses of the Filipino people to fight back with all forms of resistance. By resorting to brazen state terrorist attacks, the Duterte tyrannical regime is rousing more and more people to join the NPA, wage armed struggle and help carry forward the people’s war.

Persevering resistance in the face of heightened repression
The crisis of the ruling semicolonial and semifeudal system is generating ever intolerable forms of exploitation and oppression and is driving the Filipino people more and more towards the path of revolutionary struggle. In the face of worsening state terrorism, corruption and national treachery under the Duterte tyranny, the broad masses are ever more determined to defend their national and democratic rights and interests and advance the cause of national democracy.

Despite the Duterte regime’s brutal tactics of counterrevolution, the people’s war continues to move forward and steadily accumulate strength. At the same time, there are sustained mass protests over the failed pandemic response, lack of economic aid, cases of large-scale corruption, large-scale borrowing, skyrocketing prices of food and fuel, import liberalization of rice and pork, tax cuts for big corporations, burdensome taxes on the people, sharp rise in military spending, rising number of cases of human rights violations, increasing incidents of aerial bombing, and so on.

The cadres and activists of the Communist Party of the Philippines are at the core of the ever rising mass resistance against Duterte’s tyranny and the advancing people’s democratic revolution. Underground Party branches and committees continue to be built and strengthened in both cities and rural areas. Party cadres are at the vanguard of the people’s democratic mass struggles and the armed struggle. Together with Red fighters of the NPA and revolutionary forces allied with the National Democratic Front of the Philippines, Party cadres continue to valiantly and boldly shoulder the difficult tasks of carrying forward the people’s democratic revolution, even in the face of fascist adversity and brutality.

In the countryside, the New People’s Army continues to wage people’s war across the entire country. The Party’s Central Committee, through its Executive Committee and Military Commission, together with officers of the NPA National Operational Command, provide strategic leadership to the NPA. Tactical leadership is exercised by the Party’s regional committees and the NPA’s regional operational commands in 14 regions and their subregional and front operational commands.

The national and regional operational commands of the NPA remain intact despite the unremitting division- and battalion-sized tactical operations carried out by the AFP. In Mindanao, where the AFP has mounted the most brutal forms of suppression since 2017, NPA units have quickly adapted to the AFP’s large-scale strategic offensive operations and are intensifying mass work and military work. They continue to enjoy the deep support of the peasant masses and Lumad minorities, especially as the AFP’s lies, corruption and collusion with mining companies and plantations are increasingly exposed. In the past year, NPA units have also frustrated major strategic offensives in the provinces of Cagayan, Ilocos Sur, Quezon, Camarines Norte, Masbate, other Bicol provinces, as well as in the islands of Mindoro, Palawan, Samar and Negros.

Across the country, NPA units are masterfully using guerrilla tactics of dispersal, shifting and concentration to avoid enemy encirclement and hit the enemy from its rear or flanks. They continue to consolidate, recruit and train new Red fighters, expand its territories and grow in strength. In line with the direction set forth by the Party, NPA units have stepped up efforts to deepen and widen mass work in order to expand its areas of operation and frustrate the enemy’s strategic offensives.

Over the past year, mass work units of the NPA have successfully conducted campaigns to help uplift the masses from their dire conditions, especially in areas which were hit by pests, torrential rains, typhoons and severe floods. Red fighters are being mobilized to serve as production teams to help in rebuilding farms, planting and harvesting of crops. Campaigns to plant vegetables and root crops have been carried out to help secure food supplies and alleviate the effects of lockdowns on communities. Party committees and NPA units are helping the peasant masses to get organized and raise their capacity in cooperative production by pooling together their resources and labor power.

In the face of threats of Covid-19 infections, NPA units, together with local mass organizations and health workers, are conducting education campaigns in rural villages to raise the people’s awareness and understanding of the nature of the pandemic, of public health measures to prevent its spread, and of the use of herbal medicine to help fight its symptoms, and encouraging vaccination in areas where it is available. At the same time, NPA medics have mounted mass clinics to conduct check-ups to diagnose, treat and provide medication for common ailments and provide dental services, minor surgeries and other medical services.

The closure of schools since last year and the “distance learning system” have left out many low-income urban and rural schoolchildren who are without fund or access to telecommunication (internet) services. To address the needs of young children, many Red fighters have served as community teachers who conduct tutorials and lessons for young children to help them continue learning and assist them in their assignments.

In old and new areas, NPA units are organizing the basic mass organizations of workers, peasants, women, youth and children. These organizations build committees to undertake national democratic education, recruitment, fund generation and other tasks. The NPA recruits and trains Red fighters for its units of people’s militias. Mass organizations build their self-defense corps to help in the maintenance of peace in the communities and coordinate with the militias.

Mobilizing and relying primarily on poor peasants and farmworkers, mass campaigns are staged to seek the lowering of land rent, elimination of usury, higher farm wages, lower prices of fertilizers and other agricultural inputs, fair farm gate prices, and other agrarian reforms comprising the minimum program for land reform. In areas where the NPA and the local Party organizations are strong enough, the maximum program of land distribution is carried out.

Organs of political power are established by convening community assemblies or representatives of local mass organizations in order to elect or appoint officials of the barrio or village revolutionary committee, and build the committees for defense, justice, education, health, culture and others. Cultural organizations are built to promote a patriotic, scientific and mass-oriented culture and raise the people’s militance and determination to fight.

The NPA strengthens wave upon wave by striking the correct balance between expansion and consolidation. Front units of the NPA maintain a company force structure to allow itself to deploy mass work platoons within the proximity of the company center, while periodically shifting the center to avoid enemy encirclement, further expand its areas of operations and stage tactical offensives against weak and isolated units of the enemy.

Even as the NPA expands its areas of operation, it maintains close links with the masses in its consolidated areas, especially with those in areas under intense enemy military operations. The NPA closely coordinates and assists the masses as they fight the repressive measures imposed by the enemy. Units of the NPA are mounting timely tactical offensives to punish the most brutal units of the enemy with the aim of disrupting their operations and driving them away.

The revolutionary masses in the countryside are valiantly opposing the enemy’s military suppression drive. They are being roused to fight back by the fascist abuses and disruption of local peace and order. They are actively and creatively fighting the enemy’s presence in their communities through open and discreet protests. They continue to strengthen their organizations and conduct meetings and study sessions away from the enemy’s surveillance. They continue to maintain links and coordinate with the local units of the NPA. They provide the NPA with timely information about the enemy’s activities and movements. In some communities, they have playacted as “surrenderees” to make the enemy complacent. They make the enemy believe that they are “informants” but are, in fact, in coordination with the NPA. The enemy is fooling only themselves when they claim that the masses are “surrendering” in droves.

In the face of heightened enemy drone and electronic surveillance, NPA units have been directed to adopt policies to enhance guerrilla maneuvers and methods of work. Red fighters have a deep understanding of the principle that “it is people, not things that are decisive,” as propounded by Chairman Mao. The enemy may have the distinct advantage in terms of weaponry and firepower, but it is no match to the NPA’s political superiority. With the deep support of the masses, NPA units have been able to keep the enemy deaf and blind to its movements and operations. With its mastery of local terrain and high level of discipline to maintain itself invisible physically and electronically, the NPA is, for the most part, rendering ineffectual the enemy’s drones and surveillance equipment.

The vast majority of NPA units have succeeded in avoiding the so-called focused military operations or enemy offensives and frustrated the enemy’s aim of mounting decisive battles. The Party and the NPA have drawn important lessons from tactical defeats suffered by some guerrilla units, including those caused by enemy bombing incidents, which resulted in the martyrdom of a number of Red fighters.

The NPA continues to take the initiative in mounting tactical offensives in various parts of the country, aiming especially at units of the AFP which have committed gross violations of human rights and terrorism. Together with the peasants and ethnic minorities, the NPA also continues to serve as guardians of the environment, in fighting mining companies, plantations and other plunderers and economic aggressors.

There is continuing resistance against neoliberal agricultural policies, particularly import liberalization of rice, as well as smuggling of other agricultural products which are driving down farm gate prices and forcing tens of thousands of farmers to bankruptcy. The peasant masses and ethnic minorities are also fighting wanton land-use conversion of agricultural lands, land grabbing and environmental destruction.

The peasant masses, together with the masses of workers and semiproletariat, and other toiling sectors have also mounted protests against rising fuel prices, taxes on petroleum products and other onerous taxes, skyrocket prices of food and other basic commodities and services, liberalization of fish and pork importation, and other policies that worsen their oppression.

Amid the pandemic, struggles to advance the welfare and interests of various sectors have been unremitting across the country. They have come together to demand financial aid and subsidies, and the expansion and strengthening of the public health system. Nurses and health workers demanding salary increases and other benefits have staged successive protest actions.

Workers strikes and protest actions demanding higher wages and job security have erupted. Public school teachers mounted repeated protests to demand salary increases, overtime pay and additional allowances to cover expenses incurred to adapt to the school closures. Students have raised public clamor for the safe opening of classes and expressed their collective grievances under the “blended learning” system. Public transport drivers also mounted protests to demand the return of jeepneys to their routes, rollback of fuel prices, compensation for services rendered to the government and others. Wildcat actions have erupted among gig workers to protest the oppressive working conditions arbitrarily set by service operators.

Mass protest actions are bound to rise especially with the rapid increase in the cost of living resulting in the further deterioration of the people’s socioeconomic conditions. The widening gap between the great majority of the toiling masses, on the one hand, and the high bureaucrats and big capitalists who continue to accumulate wealth through corruption and government favors, on the other hand, is stoking the people’s anger.

In the face of worsening political repression, there is also growing resistance against state terrorism and fascism. Duterte’s draconian Anti-Terror Law prompted a broad range of democratic forces to come together and demand its repeal. There is also widespread opposition against the NTF-Elcac and a strong demand for its defunding and dismantling. Mass actions have been staged to protest red-tagging, extrajudicial killings, arrests, torture and indefinite detention under trumped up charges. A number of activists unlawfully arrested and falsely charged using police-planted evidence have won important legal victories and have been released from prison.

A broad range of forces are now arrayed against the Marcos-Duterte electoral tandem, even if the opposition forces failed to forge a unified slate. Young Filipinos are actively resisting the return of the Marcoses and the perpetuation of the Duterte political dynasty, knowing fully well that it is their future that is at stake. There are very strong prospects for a massive uprising of the people to erupt as in 1986 after Marcos’ electoral fraud was thoroughly exposed.

The revolutionary organizations allied with the NDFP continue to expand and strengthen themselves. Amid heightening fascist repression, the need to strengthen the underground revolutionary movement and armed resistance becomes crystallized in the consciousness of a growing number of people.

Outstanding tasks of the Party
The Party is leading and waging the people’s democratic revolution in the Philippines to achieve national and social liberation. The basic objective is to liberate the Filipino people from the clutches of imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat capitalism, overthrow the neocolonial state and the class rule of the big bourgeois compradors and big landlords and put an end to the semicolonial and semifeudal system. It will establish a people’s democratic government that will carry out land reform and national industrialization, promote people’s democracy in order to prepare the conditions for socialist revolution and construction.

The Party has succeeded in upholding, and assiduously and creatively applying Marxism-Leninism-Maoism on the concrete conditions of the Philippines. It has transformed the universal theory of the proletariat into an invincible material force. The Party has built itself as the advance detachment of the Filipino proletariat and has guided the growth and advance of the revolutionary movement over the past five decades.

The Party has built a highly consolidated organization by adhering to the principles of democratic centralism, or democracy guided and unified by centralized leadership, and centralism based on democracy. Collective leadership is exercised through the committee system. Elected by the Party’s Second Congress in 2016, the Party’s Central Committee, Political Bureau and Executive Committee unites and leads the entire Party in its revolutionary undertaking.

The Party has a membership of more than 150,000, and a mass base running to millions of people, both in the cities and countryside. The Party is deeply rooted among the workers and peasants, as well as among the semiproletariat and the urban petty bourgeois intellectuals. All Party members undergo a process of revolutionary remolding through study and practice of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and criticism and self-criticism. The Party has produced a great number of outstanding communists and revolutionary fighters, a number of whom have paid the ultimate sacrifice for the cause of the proletariat and oppressed classes. Their memories will live forever. The Party will continue to nurture the fruit of their hard work and sacrifices.

The Party established the New People’s Army from a platoon of Red fighters in 1969 as the germinal force for waging protracted people’s war along the strategic line of encircling the cities from the countryside. The NPA has built a mass base running to millions of poor peasants and farmworkers by firmly waging agrarian revolution in accordance with the Party’s revolutionary guide to land reform. The NPA has self-reliantly grown into a nationwide guerrilla force, operating in more than 110 guerrilla fronts in 90% of Philippine provinces. The NPA grew by leaps and bounds in 14 years of armed resistance to Marcos’ martial law rule and surmounted the military offensives of six presidents since 1986. The Party and the NPA is set on frustrating Duterte’s futile declarations of crushing the armed resistance before the end of his term next year.

The Central Committee set the aim of completing the requirements of the advanced substage of the strategic defensive and advance to the next stage of the people’s war by waging extensive and intensive guerrilla warfare on an ever widening and deepening mass base. The Party must assess the current Five-Year Program. Leading central and regional committees of the Party must sum-up the achievements and point out weaknesses in its implementation. We must draw lessons from advanced experiences, as well as from setbacks.

In the same way that the Party withstood the all-out strategic offensives of the Marcos dictatorship, it has also withstood the most brutal attacks over more than five years under the US-Duterte fascist tyranny. The leading committees of the Party have succeeded in preserving, strengthening and expanding the revolutionary forces under their leadership. We must pay attention to developing the internal factors which allowed the Party, the NPA and the united front to grow in strength in most parts, and overcoming those factors which caused the stagnation or weakening in other parts.

The Party must be prepared to face the arduous political and military battles in the coming months as the enemy carries out full-throttle military offensives and total war against the people in the vain hope of crushing the people’s democratic revolution.

On the one hand, the Party and the revolutionary forces are not intimidated by the enemy’s show of force, knowing fully well that behind this armored shell is the rotten core of the widely despised and repudiated ruling system of oppression and exploitation, corruption, treachery and state terrorism. On the other hand, we must intently study the enemy’s strength and determine the methods of frustrating its objectives. Party cadres and revolutionaries are ready to overcome tendencies to seek comfort and convenience and make big and small sacrifices necessary to advance the people’s revolutionary resistance.

We must resist the increasing brutality of the US-Duterte regime as it employs state terrorism to force the people to bow to its power. The problem of underreporting of military abuses and violations of human rights must decisively be resolved. We must heighten our campaigns to fully expose and denounce every case of intimidation, illegal searches, violations of domicile, unlawful arrests, abductions, forced “surrender,” and extrajudicial killings, especially in villages being hamletted in the guise of the AFP’s “community support programs” or “barangay development program.” There must be a campaign to raise the demand for an end to the AFP’s indiscriminate aerial bombing, strafing and artillery shelling that aim to terrorize the people in brazen violation of international humanitarian law.

The Party must take advantage of the sharpening political crisis of the ruling system and isolation of the US-Duterte regime. This crisis is set to burst open in the coming months with the scheduled presidential elections. The attempts to rig the automated vote counting in favor of the ruling Duterte clique must be fully exposed. The widest possible range of forces against the Duterte regime must be brought together in a broad united front. Duterte’s schemes to perpetuate himself in power, either through rigging the elections or declaring an open fascist dictatorship, must be frustrated through massive street demonstrations.

We must tirelessly arouse, organize and mobilize the people in great numbers in all forms of armed and non-armed resistance. We must firmly take hold of the initiative, prepare the people and advance their struggles in the face of all possible situational shifts brought by convulsions of the ruling system.

In the coming years, the Party must continue to carry out efforts to strengthen itself ideologically, politically and organizationally. The Party must lead in the Filipino people’s struggle to overthrow the US-Duterte fascist regime and carry forward the people’s democratic revolution.

The Party must continue to steel itself ideologically by studying Marxism-Leninism-Maoism to strengthen the working class standpoint and viewpoint of all its cadres and members, their grasp of the historical mission of the proletariat and its tasks of leading the new democratic revolution in the Philippines.

The three level Party course must be implemented vigorously and energetically, even as we shoulder urgent political tasks of propaganda and mobilization. Every Party branch and committee must ensure that an officer or committee is assigned to education work. We must make sure that books and articles are made available, in electronic or paper form, for reading and discussion at all levels.

Party cadres and committees must continue to deepen their knowledge and grasp of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism by applying it in conducting social investigation to determine the specific conditions and problems of the masses, in taking stock of their strength and weaknesses, in knowing the enemy and drawing up plans to raise the level of the work within the scope of their leadership. All Party committees must consciously and systematically apply the dialectical materialist methods of analysis of drawing observations and conclusions from facts, and raising the level of revolutionary practice from one level to another.

All Party committees must ensure that regular meetings are held to build the collective will of its cadres and activists. They must conduct assessments and summing-up conferences, and criticism and self-criticism meetings. Work conferences must be held periodically for cadres to share experiences with the aim of raising the level of their work. Leading committees must receive periodical and special reports from the committees under it, and promptly issue guidelines or instructions. All pertinent information must be transmitted to the Party’s Central Committee.

We must continue efforts to strengthen Party branches as key to raising the capacity of the Party to lead the masses in their mass struggles. Recruitment of new cadres from the ranks of the advanced mass activists must be carried out systematically and unremittingly. Every Party branch and leading territorial committees must aim to build several Party branches for every given time period to ensure the constant expansion of the Party.

The Party must continue to establish and strengthen revolutionary mass organizations to build the unity of the people along their class and sectoral interests, as well as along issues of a broad or specific nature. Different forms of associations can be built as a way of adapting to the specific situation in a locality. We must aim to build Party branches in all the biggest labor enclaves and strategic industrial and commercial enterprises, mines and plantations, colleges and university campuses, offices, sectors, institutions, communities and so on. The Party must take advantage of the conditions to generate a major increase in the strength of the workers movement in the national capital and regional urban centers.

The Party must continue to heighten propaganda work to counter the anticommunist lies and disinformation which the fascist reactionary zealots whip-up in media and social media. We must vigorously promote the program for a people’s democratic revolution and the Party’s analysis of outstanding national and local issues. We must continue to propagate Ang Bayan and all revolutionary publications, and produce other forms of propaganda in order to reach the broad masses in their millions to raise their consciousness and militance. All Party cadres and activists must untiringly serve as soldiers of the propaganda army for national democracy.

The Party must build the broadest possible anti-fascist united front as the key to mobilizing the people in their millions to frustrate the US-Duterte regime’s scheme to perpetuate its tyranny, corruption and treachery through state terrorism and deception. The Party and the broad democratic forces must frustrate the plot to rig the 2022 elections to install the Marcos-Duterte tandem or any other reactionary candidate that will do Duterte’s bidding. A movement to block the full restoration of the Marcoses must be developed, especially among the Filipino youth. This must be combined with mass protests to advance their urgent demands for wage increases, jobs, economic subsidies and other social alleviation measures amid the economic crisis.

The Party must continue to develop the people’s anti-imperialist and antifascist struggles in the cities and link these to the antifeudal and antifascist struggles in the countryside. The peasant movement must aim to mobilize the masses in large numbers by putting forward the urgent demands to end import liberalization, land-use conversion, and land grabbing, for fair farm gate prices, production subsidies, cancellation of loans in disaster-stricken areas, and so on.

The Party must continue to lead the New People’s Army in waging extensive and intensive guerrilla warfare on an ever widening and deepening mass base. The mass base of the NPA must be expanded and consolidated by carrying forward agrarian revolution on a wide scale to address the long-term and urgent needs of the peasant masses.

We must aim to expand the guerrilla fronts and build new guerrilla fronts and subregional areas to widen the NPA’s areas of operation in order to frustrate the enemy’s blockhouse tactics and campaign of encirclement to isolate NPA units and engage them in decisive battles. Leading committees of the Party and NPA commands must master the ability to balance the deployment of troops for expansion and consolidation, and for mass work and military work. Horizontal expansion of the mass base must be made in proportion to consolidation and strengthening of Party branches and NPA units. We must conduct political and military training of Party cadres and NPA Red fighters and commanders to shoulder the increasingly arduous tasks to boldly advance the revolution.

We must aim to resolve all the internal problems and surmount all the obstacles in advancing the people’s democratic revolution. We must raise the revolutionary spirit and determination of all Party cadres, Red fighters and mass activists in confronting the increasingly brutal and vicious enemy.

The Party must take advantage of favorable conditions to strengthen and expand its ties with the international proletariat and other oppressed peoples, encourage the study of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and its application on the concrete conditions of different countries and further promote anti-imperialist solidarity with the broad democratic, patriotic and progressive forces and governments fighting for national and social liberation. The Party must actively share its experience in waging the Philippine revolution, and learn from the advanced experiences of revolutionary, and other national and social liberation movements around the world.

As the Party commemorates the 53rd anniversary of its establishment, we celebrate our achievements, even as we look forward to surmounting all obstacles in carrying forward the people’s democratic revolution to unprecedented heights.

AFP Offensives Fail To Halt Nationwide Celebrations Of 53rd Anniversary Of CPP’s Foundation
December 26, 2021
Marco L. Valbuena | Chief Information Officer | Communist Party of the Philippines

December 26, 2021

Thousands of people across the country successfully held celebrations of the 53rd anniversary of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP). Party committees, together with committees and branches of the CPP, units of the New People’s Army (NPA) and revolutionary mass organizations, held assemblies and meetings in both cities and rural areas.

The nationwide celebrations of the Party’s anniversary proves the utter failure of the US-Duterte regime and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to put an end to the people’s revolutionary struggles. The Party, together with the NPA and the revolutionary mass organizations, remains strong and continue to gain strength.

In its message, the CPP Central Committee called on all its forces to “maintain constant vigilance and the highest alert” in order to “frustrate the brutal counterrevolutionary war.”

Assemblies were held in rural areas and mountain camps despite relentless nationwide offensives of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) in its vain attempt to thwart the celebrations. Over the past weeks, hundreds of millions of pesos have been wasted in these operations.

We have received reports of military and police offensives in Cagayan, Ilocos Sur, Mindoro, Palawan, Quezon, Camarines Norte, Sorsogon, Masbate, Samar provinces, Southern Leyte, Bohol, Negros, Iloilo, Capiz, Misamis Oriental, Surigao del Sur, Surigao del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Agusan del Norte, Misamis Oriental, Lanao del Norte, Bukidnon, North Cotabato, Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat and other provinces.

A few incidents have been reported in Davao de Oro and Sorsogon. We are still awaiting details. Of course, the AFP will play up these incidents in order to draw away attention from the overall growth of the revolutionary movement across the country.

Units of the NPA in the Visayas and some northern Mindanao regions took a break from their work of rebuilding homes and repairing farms to join the humble celebrations of the
Party’s anniversary.

Party members and revolutionary activists also held meetings in urban areas to hold study sessions and renew their pledge to selflessly serve the people

In a 22-page message, the Central Committee presented the CPP’s analysis of the current international and domestic situation which it described as “mired in deep crisis.” According to the CPP-CC, the situation in the Philippines is “aggravated by corruption, national treachery, failed pandemic response and fascist repression of the US-Duterte regime.”

“Out and out neoliberal policies have further deepened the backward, agrarian, semifeudal economy that is dependent on imported consumption and capitals goods and oriented towards the export of low-value added semiprocessed goods, raw materials and cheap labor,” added the CPP-CC. “They lead to ever deeper crisis.”

The CPP-CC anticipates the aggravation of the economic and political crisis of the ruling system, especially with the approach of the 2022 elections. It called on the Filipino people to unite and fight the schemes of the Duterte ruling clique to rig and steal the elections.

The CPP-CC said units of the NPA are steadily gaining strength by forging ever wider and deeper ties with the peasant masses. The enemy is fooling only themselves with their multimillion pesos worth of military-organized “surrender parades.” The CPP said that in many revolutionary areas, the peasant masses are only playacting to fool the AFP, but are, in fact, in constant coordination with the NPA.

The support for the NPA continues to deepen and widen especially that the AFP’s lies and corruption, and role in land-grabbing for big landlords, and mining companies and plantations, become fully exposed.

UNITE UNDER MAOISM!
December 26, 2021
Proletarians of all countries, unite!

Chairman Mao Zedong was born on December 26, 1893, and throughout his life he put himself fully at the service of the people, of the deepest and broadest masses; he was the main protagonist, the recognised leader of the Chinese revolution and became the leader of the world proletarian revolution. He founded the Chinese Communist Party and the Red Army of the workers and peasants of the Chinese people, introduced the road of encircling the cities from the countryside, developed the People’s War and thus the military theory of the proletariat. As the theoretician of New Democracy, he founded the People’s Republic, was the main initiator of the Great Leap Forward and promoted the development of socialism. Chairman Mao was the leader of the struggle against the contemporary revisionism of Khrushchev and his henchmen. He led the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, achieving the highest milestone yet in the struggle for communism. During this tremendous process, in the midst of the class struggle and the two-line struggle, he qualitatively developed the three integral parts of Marxism as a unit – Marxist philosophy, Marxist political economy and scientific socialism – and the ideology of the proletariat made the leap to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.

As we celebrate Chairman Mao’s birthday today, we do so as always with the people’s wars in India, Turkey, the Philippines and Peru, with the formation or reconstitution of communist parties determined to prepare and develop the people’s war; we do this in the war against the revisionist usurpers who restored the bourgeois dictatorship in China after his death, knowing that these scoundrels will never find peace and that the Chinese proletariat and people will regain power and beat social imperialism with blood and fire. We welcome the formation of a new generation of Maoists in China who will strengthen the resistance of those who never surrendered there, and we are sure that side by side with the international proletariat they will rebuild the glorious party founded by Chairman Mao.

Chairman Mao’s mission was communism, and therefore we cannot celebrate his birthday with dignity without seeing how the struggle for communism is progressing.

IT IS RIGHT TO REBEL

More than ever, human society needs a social revolution with an ideological leadership that maintains a just and correct course to move forward. The imperialist world system is in absolute contradiction with progress and development. It has nothing to offer but genocide, war and the vilest exploitation and oppression for the benefit of a handful of bloodsuckers who live in an opulence and decadence that makes the Roman emperors look like ascetics.

The oppressed peoples and nations of the world are systematically subjected to further oppression and aggression by the imperialist powers. Inequality in the world today is at the same level as it was at the beginning of the last century, i.e. the more than hundred years have not meant more freedom and progress, but only the maintenance and even deepening and widening of the oppression and exploitation of the masses. The top 10% of the social pyramid own more than half of the total wealth, while the bottom 50%, i.e. the majority, own at most 2% and are increasingly losing the little they own. In oppressed countries such as Mexico, where 10% of the population owns 79% of the wealth, while according to official figures, about half of the population lives in complete poverty. There is more hunger, more misery, more exploitation and oppression. 800 million people in the world suffer from hunger or do not know if they will have enough to eat the next day, 267 million of them in Latin America and the Caribbean – about 40% of the total population of this region. These are the official data of the institutions of imperialism, and we could give almost endless other examples. In the world economic crisis, which is basically a crisis of overproduction that has been going on for years and which the sycophants and servants of the old order are trying to cover up with the COVID-19 pan-epidemic, the situation of the poorest is deteriorating drastically, as shown by the fact that last year more than 100 million children were among the poor. The pan-epidemic is being used so cynically by the imperialists and reactionaries all over the world, supported as always by revisionism and opportunism, that it is not only being used to commit world genocide, especially against the oppressed peoples, but also to attack the rights and gains of the proletariat and peoples in all countries in the name of measures to combat the “epidemic crisis”, They attack the most basic liberal democratic rights wherever they can, impose a state of emergency and destroy hundreds of millions of small businesses, petty bourgeois holdings, concentrate and centralise capital more in favour of the big monopolies, to whom they give billions from the state coffers under the pretext of saving and boosting the economy to create “jobs and income” for the masses. They also use climate change to expropriate millions of peasants on the one hand and to “modernise” their states and “transform” their economies for their inter-imperialist struggle on the other. In the imperialist countries, too, the proletariat and the people are suffering the consequences of the imperialist crisis; massive layoffs and wage cuts, longer working hours and deterioration of working conditions are affecting not only the lower strata of the proletariat, but also the middle and upper strata – in a country like Germany, the wages of the best paid workers were cut by 1.4%. And all this in the midst of a worldwide crisis of bourgeois democracy. This is what the overlords of the old imperialist order are giving us.

It is the task of the international proletariat and the oppressed peoples to finish them off, to break the chains, break down the walls and conquer the summits. Either them or us, enough of this hell: storm heaven! That is the order of the day.

FIGHT DARKNESS WITH THE SHINING TORCH OF MAOISM

The imperialists and their lackeys are everywhere promoting idealism and metaphysics, propagating religious obscurantism and other forms of the most perverse obscurantism to cloud the minds of the masses and blind them. Whether through the promotion of the massive spread of evangelistic sects, the constant propaganda of the Catholic Church or Islamist fundamentalism, everything serves to divert the struggle of the peoples, to divide the resistance against imperialism and to fight the influence of the communists. This is especially served by the spread of so-called “postmodernism”, which is supposedly “progressive and radical” with its myriad theories – “relativism”, “everyone’s truth”, “discourse analysis”, “postcolonial critique”, “gender theory”, “critical whiteness”, to name a few, firmly entrenched in the universities and leading institutes of reactionary brainwashing and in the press, and the opportunist parties form an essential part of the general counterrevolutionary offensive waged by US imperialism in collusion and struggle with the other imperialist powers. World reaction and revisionism, directed against Marxism, socialism, the dictatorship of the proletariat and revolutionary violence, attempt to deny the irreplaceable necessity of the leadership of the proletariat in the revolution, whether democratic or socialist, by the Communist Party. Revisionism and opportunism of all kinds pretend, as they have since Bernstein, to use these bourgeois “innovations” to fight Marxism. Thus they adopt the story of the “noble Indian” – which is nothing but the flip side of the British colonial theory of the “white man’s burden” – propagated by the “NGOs” of the imperialist institutions which glorify gamonalism and deny the existence of classes in the countryside, with the aim of denying the existence of the poor peasantry and thus the existence of semi-feudalism in order to bring about a “socialist revolution” in the oppressed countries, parroting the old Trotskyist theses while preaching parliamentary cretinism and electoral opportunism.

It is up to us communists and revolutionaries to defend and apply Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the only true ideology of the international proletariat, to defeat and smash these monstrosities and machinations of imperialism and its reactionary and revisionist lackeys. Darkness is fought with light, idealism with dialectical materialism. Marxism-Leninism-Maoism has always prevailed in the struggle against bourgeois ideology and all reactionary positions, and it is no different today. To defeat the general counter-revolutionary offensive, a life and death struggle against revisionism and opportunism is indispensable, which means that we must vigorously advance the worldwide campaign for Maoism as the sole command and guide of the world proletarian revolution. In all languages, on all continents and in all countries, it is necessary that we adhere to the proletarian ideology, reject bourgeois ideology in all its manifestations and illuminate the path of the proletariat and the people with the torch of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.

LET’S END EXPLOITATION AND OPPRESSION WITH REVOLUTIONARY VIOLENCE IN EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD

Chairman Mao taught us to be champions of the omnipotence of revolutionary war, and that is what we Maoists are. Imperialism is a monster equipped from head to toe with the most terrible arsenal history has ever seen. It unleashes its wars of aggression against the peoples all over the world and sharpens its knives for a new world war to distribute the spoils: the oppressed nations and peoples. Every new technology is perverted into a weapon against the peoples; it aims at absolute control of the world’s population with a surveillance apparatus that the Gestapo could only dream of. But the most powerful weapon in the world is the proletarian ideology embodied by the masses. The mercenaries of imperialism fight to defend an outdated system, with no other perspective than to prolong its agony, their morality is the petty interest of personal gain and nothing more, they represent an outdated, anachronistic force. The peoples have a creativity and genius with which, guided by Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, they find and produce the historically necessary solutions in the midst of struggle, and they know that revolutionary violence, the just and necessary violence, is the light of every new society.

The masses are ready to fight, they want to eliminate the old order, but they themselves do not understand how to overthrow the old order and build the new one. It is the duty of communists to see what the masses want, to assume our role as the proletarian vanguard and to lead and direct their struggles against the oppressors and exploiters by resolutely applying revolutionary violence and the relentless and inseparable struggle against opportunism, revolutionary war, people’s war, as the main form of struggle in the world. Without revolutionary war there is no democratic or socialist revolution, therefore the communist parties must be forged as fighting machines. The Communist Party exists to make and defend the revolution and to guarantee its road to communism with cultural revolutions. There is no place for Communist Parties to rot in the pigsties that are the parliaments of the old states. Those who delude themselves that there is a possibility of a gradual and peaceful “accumulation of forces” in any country, forgetting all the experiences of the international proletariat and the peoples of the world, lead the masses to massacre and betray, whether they like it or not, the world proletarian revolution. Bourgeois “legality” is a deadly trap if communists rely on it in any way, we have had this experience through a senseless toll of blood at the cost of the lives of millions of communists and revolutionaries.

We must cast aside all illusions. Imperialism is a colossus on feet of clay, a paper tiger, we must throw ourselves into the struggle with the banner of invincible people’s war at our head.

APPLY MAOISM TO SOLVE NEW PROBLEMS

There is no social problem that man cannot solve. The more we apply the principles of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the more we will find solutions to new problems in the service of the international proletariat and the peoples of the world. Thus, the political, economic, organisational and military problems we face in the course of the class struggle can be properly solved if we start from the world outlook of the proletariat. We must be absolutely convinced of the strength of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the all-powerful ideology, because it is true and true because it is scientific.

The problem of the communist parties is not to restore a historical past but to write new chapters in the epic of revolutionary transformation of the present in order to conquer the future. We have a glorious past, with gigantic triumphs, but also setbacks and defeats. We must learn from it, but in the knowledge that it will never be repeated in the same form, because the progress of matter is from the lower to the upper and not just circular. Therefore, our history is a weapon from which we derive a general law for the party’s process, that any deviation from Marxism-Leninism-Maoism leads to taking the road of revisionism and changing the character of the party, and that in this case the correct thing to do is to take up Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and apply it in its purest form in the midst of the two-line struggle in the Party and the class struggle of the masses in order to reconstitute it as a Party of a new Marxist-Leninist-Maoist type.

Every Communist Party – if it does not exist in a country, those who struggle for its foundation or reconstitution – must apply Marxism-Leninism-Maoism to the concrete, specific conditions of its revolution, be it democratic or socialist, in a creative way in the general context of the world proletarian revolution. Only in this way can the present moment of struggle, and thus the appropriate forms of struggle and organisation, be correctly and precisely assessed and determined. Conservatism and clichés are of no use, the meaning of our work is not to persist for the sake of persistence, but to advance in order to achieve our goals.

THE BLOOD SPILLED CALLS US BACK TO THE STRUGGLE

In the past year, several important and prominent leaders and cadres of the Communist Parties fighting the people’s wars in Turkey and India have been killed in action or assassinated by the forces of reaction. In the Philippines, comrade Ka Oris was brutally murdered by the hordes of the executioner Duterte. In Peru, Chairman Gonzalo, who was in prison for 29 years in total isolation, gave his life and his name was included in the list of titans of our class. In Brazil, important communist leaders and cadres have died and in Ecuador, the Maoist leader comrade Joselo. In Europe, the long-time communist leader from Galicia, Comrade Martin Naya, has died. All over the world, communists, revolutionary fighters and revolting masses have shed their precious blood for the cause of communism. It is up to us to remember them, learn from their examples and turn their pain into strength by raising our red flags with hammer and sickle in their honour.

It is a sign of their condition that the communists mix their blood with the blood of the masses who bravely give their lives. While the parasites, sell-outs and hucksters, opportunists and revisionists live well in the old order, the Marxist-Leninist-Maoists, the best sons of the people, show that they are always in the front line of struggle, that they are in the first line of fire.

Our fallen comrades will always live on in us, the spilt blood of communists, revolutionary fighters and masses does not drown the revolution but nourishes it. Only those who have no faith in the masses can be depressed. We follow Chairman Mao’s commanding voice: we bury our dead and fight on.

UNITY IS FORGED THROUGH STRUGGLE

Ever since Marx taught us that the united proletariat will be invincible, and ever since he raised the unchanging slogan of the communists – Proletarians of all countries, unite! – we have fought for our international unity. A struggle so inseparable from the struggle for our ultimate goal that Chairman Mao aptly summed it up in the immortal phrase “Internationalism is the spirit of communism”. We all know that achieving and maintaining unity is not easy, not even in one party and even less in the International Communist Movement (ICM); it requires a two-line struggle based on principles, well conducted, amidst the struggle between revolution and counter-revolution, both of which are armed, and the formation of a leadership with recognised supremacy and authority. This does not fall from the sky. But this is why we communists are forged through struggle to solve problems and find the way forward. If revolution were an easy undertaking, no one would need us.

Today, we have good conditions to advance the unity of the ICM.

After the capitalist restoration in China, the communists were scattered all over the world without a centre and base of world revolution. The reaction unleashed a general counter-revolutionary offensive led by US imperialism. Maoism was not accepted by different parties. In a hard struggle against surrender, against Avakian revisionism, Prachandism, the rats of the right opportunist line (ROL) in Peru and other revisionists, in the face of serious problems such as the betrayal in Nepal, the bend in the people’s war in Peru and the liquidation of the RIM in the hands of Avakianism, the communists have continued the people’s war in Peru, India, Turkey and the Philippines and new people’s wars are in preparation. In the last decade, fragmentation began to be overcome, all influential parties accepted Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, and new parties and organisations emerged in countries where there had been none for many years. The general counter-revolutionary offensive is coming to an end and the revolutionary offensive is advancing.

We are now in the early twenties of the twenty-first century, communist forces are on the rise on all continents, especially in Latin America, new Maoist forces are blossoming in countries like Ireland and Spain, coordination between parties and organisations has reached a higher level than in the best days of the RIM, new people’s wars are imminent and all over the world the process of restoring communist parties is advancing. Concretely, we are much more united today than in the last decades, revisionism is in a deep crisis (within its general bankruptcy) and the objective conditions are excellent for a powerful advance of the world proletarian revolution, the basis of which lies in the unprecedented crisis of disintegration of imperialism that is looming and in the explosiveness of the masses that are exploding all over the world, predicting that world history is entering a new period of social storms and thunderstorms, of revolutions.

The conditions are ripe for the United International Maoist Conference, just as the conditions are ripe for the birth of a New International Organisation of the Proletariat. On the basis of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, of the relentless struggle against revisionism and in the service of the world proletarian revolution, under the banner of the invincible people’s war, we can and must unite. We who sign this declaration solemnly pledge to serve this goal by redoubling our efforts and overcoming all difficulties on the way.

On the occasion of Chairman Mao’s birthday, we reaffirm our pledge to struggle tirelessly to establish Marxism-Leninism-Maoism as the sole command and guide of the world proletarian revolution. To be Marxist today is to be Marxist-Leninist-Maoist.

LONG LIVE THE GREAT HELMSMAN – ETERNAL GLORY TO CHAIRMAN MAO!

IT IS RIGHT TO REBEL!

UNITE UNDER MAOISM!

LUCANAMARCA
>https://web.archive.org/web/20071108165711/http://www.blythe.org/peru-pcp/docs_en/interv.htm "In the face of reactionary military actions… we responded with a devastating action: Lucanamarca. Neither they nor we have forgotten it, to be sure, because they got an answer that they didn’t imagine possible. More than 80 were annihilated, that is the truth. And we say openly that there were excesses, as was analyzed in 1983. But everything in life has two aspects. Our task was to deal a devastating blow in order to put them in check, to make them understand that it was not going to be so easy. On some occasions, like that one, it was the Central Leadership itself that planned the action and gave instructions. That’s how it was. In that case, the principal thing is that we dealt them a devastating blow, and we checked them and they understood that they were dealing with a different kind of people’s fighters, that we weren’t the same as those they had fought before. This is what they understood. The excesses are the negative aspect… If we were to give the masses a lot of restrictions, requirements and prohibitions, it would mean that deep down we didn’t want the waters to overflow. And what we needed was for the waters to overflow, to let the flood rage, because we know that when a river floods its banks it causes devastation, but then it returns to its riverbed…. [T]he main point was to make them understand that we were a hard nut to crack, and that we were ready for anything, anything."

<Video of Gonzalo denying having had "anything to do" with Tarata Bombing, but saying that they "furiously criticized" the action and that it was a "monstrous error for those who committed it" If you line this up with Artemio admitting that they (that is, Sendero) made the mistakes of doing so, even if Abimael somehow didn't plan something major like that (because Lucanamarca was ordered/done with the knowledge/consent of the committee, in fact of Abimael himself), it was still a Sendero attack
