On postmodernism and identity politics
Postmodernism arose directly from a chain of subjectivist idealist trends of thought, such as existentialism as articulated by Jean Paul Sartre in the years after World War II and the structuralism inspired by Ferdinand de Saussure and followed by Louis Althusser and others.
On Three Viewpoints Concerning the 2022 Elections
The revolutionary movement adheres to a people’s democratic constitution, builds its own system of government and elects its officials to organs of political power. It seeks to overthrow the ruling system which is run by the comprador big bourgeoisie and landlord class and their political agents who can be classified as bureaucrat capitalists who operate […]
On the Prospects of the Struggle for National and Social Liberation
The persistent semicolonial and semifeudal ruling system, which is dominated by foreign monopoly capitalism and directly run by the comprador big bourgeoisie, the landlord class and the bureaucrat capitalists, is in ever worsening chronic crisis. The escalating conditions of exploitative and oppressive conditions drive the people to assert and fight for their national and democratic […]
The Revolutionary Movement In The Philippines Today
Philippine society persists as semicolonial and semifeudal. It is afflicted by foreign monopoly capitalism, domestic feudalism and bureaucrat capitalism. It is dominated chiefly by US imperialism, with the new imperialist power China trying to seize the West Philippine Sea. The basic exploiting classes are the comprador big bourgeoisie and the landlord class. The basic exploited classes are the proletariat and the peasantry. And the intermediate social strata are the middle bourgeoisie and the urban petty bourgeoisie.
The Social Doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church
The CNL is excellently qualified to put forward its Commentary on the basis of its long experience, sustained work, sacrifices and achievements in working with other revolutionary forces within the NDFP and with the broad masses of the people since 1972 in the people’s democratic revolution against the semicolonial and semifeudal ruling system dominated by US imperialism and administered by the state functionaries of the local exploiting classes of big compradors, landlords and bureaucrat capitalists.
Celebrate the 48th anniversary of NDFP

For the purpose, it encompasses 18 allied organizations representing all patriotic and progressive classes and sectors of Philippine society belonging to […]
Why the Duterte regime cannot destroy the people’s revolutionary movement
It is certain that Duterte and his political agents and armed minions will claim before, during and after his State of the National Address (SONA) in July 2021 that they have already destroyed the revolutionary movement and that they must be rewarded by being allowed to stay in power. They have been harping on the […]
Anti-communist campaign of state terrorism necessitates intensified resistance by the people
Even before becoming president, Duterte tried in vain to hoodwink the Filipino nation and even the revolutionary movement that he wanted to be the first “Left” and “socialist” president and that he would bring about peace by negotiating with the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) in order to form a coalition government. But […]
Significance of the Paris commune of 1871 and its relevance to the world proletarian revolution
Again in the revolutionary spirit of the Paris Commune of 1871, I daresay that these current mass struggles are in transition to the great resurgence of the world proletarian revolution from the major setbacks caused by revisionist betrayal of the socialist cause. The proletariat and people can never accept the escalation of their exploitation and […]
Ang kabuluhan ng komuna ng Paris ng 1871 at ang kanyang kaugnayan sa pandaigdigang rebolusyong proletaryo
Sa rebolusyonaryong diwa ng Komuna ng Paris ng 1871, mangahas akong magsabi na ang kasalukuyang mga pakikibakang masa ay transisyon sa malakihang muling pagsulong ng pandaigdigang rebolusyong proletaryo mula sa mga mayor na pag-atras dahil sa rebisyunistang kataksilan sa adhikaing sosyalista. Hindi kailanman matatanggap ng proletaryado at mamamayan ang papatinding pagsasamantala at pang-aapi sa kanila. […]
