Red Salute to the Communist Party of the Philippines for its Second Congress

The Maoist Communist Party congratulates the Communist Party of the Philippines on its Second Congress, which was successfully held from 24 October to 7 November 2016.

The Maoist Communist Party sends its warmest greetings to the members of the Communist Party of the Philippines, its leadership, and to the red fighters of the New People’s Army. We sends our warmest greetings to all the mass leaders and all the masses organized by the National Democratic Front of the Philippines in the struggle for the Revolution of New Democracy.

For nearly 50 years, the Communist Party of the Philippines and the New People’s Army has been conducting a Protracted People’s War in the Philippines to sweep away imperialism, bureaucratic capitalism and feudalism through the Revolution of New Democracy.

This People’s War, one of the longest in the world, is an example for the peoples of the world. Every day the Filipino people prove that they can stand up to imperialism, mainly American, and their local watchdogs. Every day the Filipino people, led by the Communist Party of the Philippines, build their power in the red zones where the new people’s government is being set up. This is where the peasants seize the land to set up the agrarian revolution, where free healthcare as well as education for all takes place. This is where the popular masses build this new society thanks to the protection of their army, the New People’s Army.

The Communist Party of the Philippines is a source of inspiration for all communists in the world. It history is rich with teachings, its refoundation with the first rectification with the document “Rectifying Errors, Rebuilding the Party” and going through the second movement of rectification of the 90s which reaffirms the only way for the national liberation and the revolution of New Democracy: that of the Protracted People’s War.

For it is indeed the Protracted People’s War led by a Communist Party following Marxism-Leninism-Maoism which constitutes the only way of emancipating the oppressed peoples and the proletariat of the whole world. It is the concentric development of the three tools (Party, United Front and the People’s Army) in each country that opens the way and develops the World Proletarian Revolution.

The People’s War in the Philippines led by the glorious Communist Party of the Philippines, as well as the People’s War in India, is a living example of the correctness and power of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, .

The Maoist Communist Party reaffirms once again its greater solidarity with the just struggle of the Filipino people led by its Communist Party against imperialism, bureaucratic capitalism and feudalism, to advance towards the Revolution of New Democracy and then to Socialism.

Long live the Communist Party of the Philippines!
Long live the New People’s Army!
Long live the Protracted People’s War!
Long live the international solidarity of the peoples!
