China supports the fascist government of the Philippines in line with its policy of trading with everyone, promoting stability, and not sponsoring revolution. It’s understandable that Filipino communists might have a problem with this since they are at war with that government.

This poster is gross though.

Kinda reminds me about how some people talk about the Maoist fighters in the country in that if you listened to the people who champion them as “true” communists, you’d think China is the country which empowers the regime, places military bases all over Asia and has a vested interest in keeping the Philippines as a neocolony. The funny thing about that is that the BHB/NPA, in the event it succeeds and establishes a dictatorship of the proletariat, would most likely pursue closer ties to China than the current regime. So the over-fixation some have on China rather than the current leash-holder in Washington is perplexing to me.

Not to say Filipino communists don’t have legitimate gripes with China, given the complex situation with bordering states beyond US saber rattling (look at China’s track record even with other socialist states like Vietnam).

Filipino propaganda is so interesting because they’re always trying to be the smol bean underdog despite being the party landing troops on disputed islands and handing out military bases to the evil empire like candy.

Oh no! State owned firms!

reminds me of that highly upvoted comment on reddit from some fillipino talking about how the (((Chinese))) are trying to “infiltrate” south east asia with inbreeding
