MERGED: CPP-NPA-NDF Discussions (Issues, Updates, etc.)

[hala tindak jud]

di ba etta has been regarded as an Rejectionist Bloc? Basin naa sd siya lain agenda as of now, kay wala naman kaayo siya tingog sa congreso kay ang focus karon ang 'other" left leaning Party list group kay tungod sa political killings, hapit na sd baya election unya na popular baya ang BAYAN MUNA, GABRIELA, ANAKPAWIS tungod sa naangkon sa mga pagpatay sa ilang mga miembro, ug dugay naman ni nga issue ni etta cge lang cya recycle kay di man paminawon sa mga tawo. Dili man lang ni kausa niya nahimo nga issue, naa pa ni sukad pa sa una. And kung seryoso siya ani, mo file unta siya ug complaint sa International Humantirian Law, kay under man ang CPP NPA ana og ang GRP, so whats her agenda kung i air na niya sa nation nga kabalo naman kaha ta nga ang NPA mangayo ug Rev Tax and in fact Estrada Regime recognize the government of CPP, in fact they had an agreement ana. So katungod sd cguro sa CPP nga mangayo og tax, then katungod sd ni Etta masuko, then iya unta ipadagan sa Int'l. Humanitarian Law.

IMO....

I think kontra man gyud na nila ang Akbayan bai..

In fact, gi blame nila ang chairman sa Akbayan as one of those who should be responsible sa purge nga nahitabo sa CPP-NPA sa-una.

Also, in the website of Akbayan, naa sila'y gipagawas nga statement nga gi-blame sila sa NPA nga puppet daw sa Government aside atung gi-apil sila sa hitlist.

I can also remember katung gi organize ang Anti-ROTC nga group didto sa UP-Cebu, tapos naa didto mga grupo like anakbayan, etc.. When I made a comment about ROTC tapos also made a side comment about Akbayan (I think ni quote ko ato ug words ni Llamas), ni "boo" dayon ang mga member sa anakbayan, ug ubang mga grupo nga obvious na kaayo nga ###.

Which means kontra gyud nila ang Akbayan sukad pa.

My opinion, Akbayan for me is more of a moderate/democratic socialist party, while kanang mga Bayan Muna mao jud na ang mga komunista.

i salute etta rosales..

[istoryador]

Wishful thinking.

Maybe etta rosales wants to jump ship to the administration. Well if thats the case Akbayan is really a puppet of the administration.

Good. So that the masses will know who are their true champions.

[pandisal]

Lol...

nice try SNMP... trying to help the real people is what they do not like "YOUR" belove NPA/Communist who only do terrorism and extortion. They ask 30Million to a small business...? wala na siguro pang bayad

Bayan Muna, Anak Bayan et al are progressive, left leaning parties in the Philippines. Meaning both wants the Philippines to be transformed into a truly democratic and independent country, free Imperialist control where land and wealth are equallly istributed among its citizen.

However the leftist movement in this country is deeply divided. With the CPP NPA on one side headed by Ma. Jose Sison and the faction termed as "rejectionist" (Etta's group is one of them). Thier differences?

The CPP-NPA believes that true change can only happen through armed struggle that wil start in the hinterland then move its way to the city.

The rejectionist and at least Etta's group, believe that change can happen by "working within the system", that the masses will rise up the challenge and within the electoral process a truly democratic and equitable society will happen.

Here's more from the Akbayan's website:

What gave rise to this monster-in-the making? When the former CPP-NPA started to splinter in years 1992-94, it became apparent to the broad progressive community that the faction which took over the CPP-NPA franchise had all but abandoned principled discourse and debate in relating to the broad Left community, especially its “Rejectionist” rivals. Jingoist and black propaganda attacks have become the staple fare of CPP-NPA statements when referring to all other stripes of Left thinking and Left organizations. The avowed intention of the CPP-NPA since then was to destroy politically and ideologically all rivals.

Unfortunately for the CPP-NPA, not only have the other Left groups survived; new Left forces and new social movement formations, like Akbayan, have emerged and grown stronger in recent years, making Left politics irreversibly diverse and plural and democratic. The CPP-NPA can only accept this fact with bitterness. Its virulent campaign to demonize and thus, isolate its competitors has miserably failed. Obsessed with the desire to monopolize Left politics, the CPP-NPA has begun to use armed violence against other sections of the Left.


The challenge posed by new Left forces does not fully explain the

CPP-NPA’s descent to more violence. Hidden behind its display of bravura and triumphalist rhetoric is a growing insecurity about its future. In a rare moment of candor and vulnerability, NDF spokesperson Luis Jalandoni recently admitted before foreign wires representatives that they no longer see the prospect of victory in the near future.

Violence serves another purpose and that is, to project a strength and a semblance of promise far beyond the CPP-NPAs political influence and capacity for mass mobilization and armed power. NPA operations have been directed not so much to wiping out enemy AFP forces as to terrorizing uncooperative politicians and business owners and to collect taxes and blood money from the rich and bamboozle the poor to contribute.

It is this ugly mix of survivalism and vanguardism which has brought the CPP-NPA to depths of opportunism never known before in the history of the former CPP-NPA. It has forged unholy alliances with powerful landlords and warlords against new peasant organizations and new rural social movements like in Quezon, Tarlac, Mindoro and Nueva Ecija. It has supported even the most reactionary and corrupt politicians to get money, secure freer movements within warlord enclaves, and frustrate the electoral bids of progressive candidates unwilling to do its bidding.

Istoryador, don't have any illusions. Etta is a leftist by heart and there is no way that she will jump ship and join the administration.
