The democratic state, which was brought about by mass insurrectionary activity and occurred at a time when the elite and conservative forces lost political monopoly and the masses have developed a means to effectively intervene in the state process, has distinct populist features and anti-fascist characteristics. From the perspective of popular democrats, this is a step towards better conditions for progressive popular empowerment but the absence of the national democrats during the crucial moment weakened the progressive flank and the anti-dictatorship coalition. The national democrats entered into a political settlement with the Marcos regime while the CPP-NPA-NDF committed itself to armed revolutionary struggle pluralized the left movement. By further asserting their role as the vanguard over independent movements and ideological tendencies, they fostered tensions between themselves and the other forces. The rise of an internal debate within the CPP-NPA-NDF on the direction and courses of action to be taken have further weakened the progressive bloc. In the immediate term, the progressive bloc is predicted to be fluid and at worst turbulent. Unless progressive groups and movements possess a sense of community to start with and maintain lines of dialogues, ecumenism on the Left cannot be achieved.","PeriodicalId":211728,"journal":{"name":"Kasarinlan: Philippine Journal of Third World Studies","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125627933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, the relevant options are necessarily a function of the properties of the concrete situation--e.g., the level of political consciousness and organization of the basic masses, the level of cohesion of the dominant classes, and the strength and level of interest shown by the external forces. In the present democratic conjuncture in the Philippines, it may be argued that the battle lines are currently drawn on a number of crucial political, social and economic issues. The nature of the polarization leaves no doubt that maximalist demands are out of the question for the moment.","PeriodicalId":211728,"journal":{"name":"Kasarinlan: Philippine Journal of Third World Studies","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133706874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article begins with an examination of the foundations of the party’s attitude towards the peasantry and its roots in Marxist-Leninist theory and practice It goes to consider evidence of the party’s instrumental approach in practice, examining the impact on legal peasant organizations and the experience of socio-economic projects in the countryside. Attention next turns to an analysis of the party’s attitude towards “united front work” and its impact on coalition-building among the peasantry. Finally, the author considers the implications of the current split and debates in the ranks of the CPP for the peasantry and for the future of radical politics in the country.","PeriodicalId":211728,"journal":{"name":"Kasarinlan: Philippine Journal of Third World Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132087454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
