Same liberal who voted for Duterte and then regretted it.

Abolisyonista (abolisyonista@ni.hil.ist)'s status on Friday, 28-Jun-2024 13:12:45 JST Abolisyonista Getting the feeling “Marxists” would have hated Marx for wanting to “hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic.”

Abolisyonista (abolisyonista@ni.hil.ist)'s status on Monday, 24-Jun-2024 21:52:55 JST Abolisyonista “Cornstarch is adventurism” is some kind of deep unseriousness that can only come from Marxists. You'll never hear an anarchist say such drivel.

Abolisyonista (abolisyonista@ni.hil.ist)'s status on Monday, 24-Jun-2024 21:45:42 JST Abolisyonista It's kinda wild to me that the meme of Joma living high in the Netherlands and being creepy with women didn't come from liberals but from the left wing of the CPP who were engaging in two-line struggle against the Utrecht Mafia.

Abolisyonista (abolisyonista@ni.hil.ist)'s status on Monday, 24-Jun-2024 17:47:52 JST Abolisyonista HISTORY LESSON! The left wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines freaking LOVED this image. They would post it everywhere they could. It formed part of their critique of Joma Sison and the “Utrecht Mafia.” The left wing of the CPP personally attacked Sison with this and many other images.
What happened with this left wing, I have no idea.

Abolisyonista (abolisyonista@ni.hil.ist)'s status on Monday, 24-Jun-2024 12:27:59 JST Abolisyonista Heya, does anybody have any information on the period of two-line struggle in the Communist Party of the Philippines and national democracy the 2010s that some characterize as the Sison–Tiamzon conflict? I don't quite understand the period. #Histodons #Communism @communism

Abolisyonista (abolisyonista@ni.hil.ist)'s status on Wednesday, 19-Jun-2024 11:37:12 JST Abolisyonista The Wha Chi, a guerrilla group composed of Chinese communists and Red Army veterans operating in Luzon during the Japanese invasion, apparently pushed for the Hukbalahap to adopt a broad anti-Japanese line rather than a nationalist or national-liberation line. Were they pushing against nationalism (for internationalism?) or were they pushing for merely Stalinist anti-fascism?
Unfortunately, Ken Fuller, the author of FORCING THE PACE where I took this info from, doesn't really say. The Wha Chi disappears from the book's narrative by the time the American reconquest of the Philippines.

Abolisyonista (abolisyonista@ni.hil.ist)'s status on Saturday, 15-Jun-2024 12:57:30 JST Abolisyonista The way people talk about Popoy Lagman reminds me of how characters in A Song of Ice and Fire talk about Rhaegar Targaryen. We never meet Rhaegar and we only learn of him from other characters, just as the youth activists of today only learn of Popoy from story and memory. We are like Daenerys Targaryen, not the conquering-liberating queen, but Dany the orphan, who only learns of her family and heritage from others. This is the character of the Rejectionist left in the Philippines today: as orphans to a legacy we can only learn about from others. Like Dany, we are born already alienated from our legacy. And as Dany ruminates, “If I look back, I am lost,” so too are we lost in the maze of legacies and shadows, taking out poetry, not from the future, but from the past. In the same way, the Philippine left still debates over the present as if it were the past, questions of “semi-feudalism” or “backwards” capitalism. “The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living.” We are simultaneously orphaned from yet still imprisoned by heritage and legacy.
