BRIEF REMARKS AT THE REOPENING OF THE NDFP INFORMATION OFFICE BUILDING

September 16, 2017

Duterte is using his so-called war on illegal drugs as a means of projecting an image as a strong man with an iron fist in order to intimidate the people and his political opponents and to popularize extrajudicial killings as a device for building a fascist dictatorship.

The Sophism of the Christian Social Movement

July 3, 2017

In Europe, Christian “democracy” or Christian “socialism” has merely helped preserve the monopoly capitalist system. In Latin America, it has merely helped preserve the semicolonial and semifeudal conditions. It has nothing special to offer in this country except clerical cretinism and clericofascism. […]
