What amused me when I read it was that after more than four decades, the template of CPP statements hasn’t changed. In content, and style, they have remained Amado
Guerrero-ish. Amado Guerrero was the pseudonym of the CPP’s founding chairman.
Marxism-Leninism-Maoism was formulated by revolutionaries in China, which was at that time a semi-feudal semi-colonial state, and guided them in their seizure of state power in 1949. Surely, after almost a century (yes, that’s almost 100 years), much has changed in the world. Yet CPP statements make you feel like you are in an old time capsule.
When the CPP talked about “global crisis,†I was more interested in its treatment of China, which has staked claims to territories in the South China Sea, including islands owned by the Philippines. Consistent with its anti-US stance, it merely labeled China a “major capitalist†state, and not yet imperialist.
