Imperialism in the Philippines

The chain of armed power in the Philippines leads to US imperialism. With this understanding, the masses have a strategic hatred for US imperialism as the presiding power. They recognize that their domestic exploiters and their armed satellites are subordinated in this hierarchy of power. It is of vital importance that the masses understand how through the control of the Philippine military, the US and other imperialists are able to maintain a stranglehold on Philippine society through puppets and collaborators among the domestic ruling classes of compradors, landlords and bureaucrat capitalists. Thus, the Filipino people and their revolutionary forces are compelled to wage the struggle for national and social liberation.
