Is Philippines better off as a Communist country?!

Because of this basic factors, Philippines should be free from this influence, kung naa man gani mga rebolusyonaryo nga ganahana mawala ni, dili Komyunismo ang ipakuyanap, kung dili ang Nationalist Democratic Revolution mao na, para kita na ang makabuot sa atong ganahan without the influence of US of A and the other Imperialist state.

Yeh.
It has always been my contention, my personal contention, that the Problem of our Motherland lies not in its manifestations, Economic and Political System, the seemingly trivial Culture is the core problem of our nation. What we dont have is an Identity we could call our own. What is a Filipino? Is he merely a defined as what the 1987 Constitution defines a Filipino Citizen so wattabout the FIlipinos Abroad are they not called FIlipinos? Is being a Filipino defined by Color? so are we saying that Chinese-Filipinos are not Filipino? Or the Lumads? or the Mestizos? So just how do we define being a Filipino? Do we go by Color? by Politics? is there a filipino race? Those questions, i believe is the greatest problem of Filipinos, we dont have an identity we could call our own that i why we are so insecure that we cling to Western Products and consider them sacred, we loathe the to see the success of our Neighbors.
THe most Complicated problems of State lies in the seemingly trivial question of Filipino Identity. because only in have a Filipino Identity would we be able to accept what we are, only then would we be able to progress. Well, thats a portion of my theory though. So COMMUNISM couldnt happen in our Country if we in the first place dont have an identity of our own.

[bcasabee]

Ah, because we don't have an identity yet..........so we can't reach communism? Is it true to the Philippines only or does it apply to N.Korea or China too? China I guess is one of the most ancient cultures in the world.........I wonder if they don't have an identity yet since they haven't reach that communism just yet.........Also, many thought that if the Philippines didn't separate itself from USA after WWII we could have been like Hawaii or HongKong british crown, so progressive, why progressive? I don't know.....I really wonder why their progressive, Hongkong has still these chinese kung fu culture despite the british governance and Hawaii has still its own aloha culture even with the americans........But mainland china when her borders were still close from foreign influence were not that progressive compared now when they allowed multinational companies to setup Microsoft China, IBM China, Ford China etc..........how could that be? libogzzz na nuon ko.........

Philippine Identity was only my contention, not Marx or any other. DOnt confuse yourself.

But for the sake of answering your question, Yes, CHina is a Cultural Giant. It has an Identity of its Own, even since the dawn of its being. Pero lets not get to that kay it gets really weird. Lets just stick to communism, what i posted was merely my own contention in support of what hala tindak jud pointed out on neocolonialism.

[bcasabee]

Ic, anyway........granting that your contention is correct.....then I think the Philippines is hopeless of becoming a communist state.......we even have this regionalism thing.......like, what would be our national language which will identify us as Filipinos? Tagalog, Bisaya(Cebuano, Hiligaynon, Waray)....classless society right? wherein one ethnic group will not impose its own native tounge to another ethnic group..........

the latter not really, because Cultural diversity is not a hindrance to Communism.
Its not also imposible because we are already building our Self-identity as a people.

@ BCASABEE... the reason ngano wala ta gipadayunan ug suporta sa Us of A kay kung molambo ta threat ta sa wealth nila, they control us thru politics and culture, Politics, in the sense that they can support invisibly any potential person who will run on the election for president para sure sila nga ila ning mauto-uto, such as AGuinaldo down to GMA. Kabantay mo if naay election? kasagaran nga molansaray adto dayon og Us of A before mag election? mao nay giingon nga palakasay bah, ang show.

Ngano naa may Hongkong ang British og naay Hawaii ang Us of A? As simple as sa rason nga aron naay bakasyonan nga nindut ug lugar ang mga tawo nga dili mahal ang bayranan. Kung citizen ka sa US adto ka hawaii wa na ka problema sa papeles, pletehan na lang. same sa Hongkong tho ang Hong KOng dili na totally influenced sa British kay nahuman naman ilang colonial time pag 1997. Pero kamao ba diay sila og Kung FU?

China is considered as an ancient in terms of culture and history, they have their own culture kay tungod grabeh naman sila nakaugat sa kalibutan, ikumpara ang China sa Pinas in terms of years, di bah mas dugay na sila, and dili lang kapila na nabuak buak ang China sa krisis, sukad pa sa Emperor Era hangtud gubat tali sa Japonese, og mga ginagmay nga mga Krisis, bisan daghan nga krisis nga nahiaguman sa Tsina kay tungod dugay na nga nanggamot sila sa kalibutan then natural molig-un jud ang dugkan sa ilang kultura.

Samtang kita while nangita pa ta sa atong identity sa panahon nagbahag pa ta, nasudlan na kita sa implwensya sa langyaw, hangtud karon, mao na nga lisud kaayo ang Pinoy kung asa siya og kinsa siya. Mao nay gitawag nga Colonial Mentality. IMHO, and my theory sad![br]Posted on: September 13, 2006, 03:24:21 PM_________________________________________________@ bcasabee...

Classless society means wala nay KLASE kada adlaw, joke...seryos: nagpasabut na kana nga wala nay hut-ong, saray (CLASS) Landlord, tenant, peti-burgesya(MIDDLE CLASS, kita mga nagtrabaho sa lungsod, mga naka eskwela, mga naay alam sa edukasyon o intelehensya nga hut-ong) WORKERS, FARMERS.

Ug bisan tuod nga managlahi ang atong inistorya, ang usa nga nakapabilib sa mga langyaw nato, dali ra tang mo adopt sa mga butang, naa tay talent sa pag adopt sa bag-o. Like kung adto ka lain nga lugar, adopt dayon ka sa ilang kultura. o sinultian. Ilabi na sa teknolohiya. Pero ang nakapait, kay kung manobra ang pag-adopt nato makalimot ta sa atong gigikanan. Mao nga mamahimo kitang Colonial Mentality.

[bcasabee]

For me, I think there is nothing wrong with being influenced by other culture especially if it will help us advance as a people......even Marx communism is a kind of foreign influence......do you consider it bad? Maybe, naa na tay NPA tungod ana...........hehehehe.......

[hala tindak jud]

Kung ingon ana naman gani, then d na lang ta mobasa sa mga invention, s amga works sa mga scientist og sa mga bag-o nga technology? Kay foreign baya ni kasagaran. Marx gives us ideas regarding STATE and OPPRESSION, ana man gud ni bai, d jud ta mag abot unless makabasa ka sa works ni Marx.

"The Philippines is a democratic and a republican state, sovereignty resides with the people, and all government authority emanates from them"...

The first section of the Bill of Rights-- WoW... well written. but does it mean anything?!

democracy still means a lot to me, even after all i've been through as a citizen of this country. i wouldn't want any form of communism to replace it. i don't want us to be like china, north korea or vietnam. i love democracy and the freedom means a lot to me. let's not waste what rizal and every other important historical figure fought for.

my two cents.
