Sison Reader Series Book 11: On the Marcos Fascist Dictatorship
Description:
It is necessary and appropriate to circulate this book in order to mark the forthcoming 50th anniversary of the martial law proclamation dated September 21, 1972, which launched the Marcos fascist dictatorship, and to wage a counter-offensive to the systematic campaign of the Marcos and Duterte political dynasties to misrepresent the traitorous, brutal and corrupt Marcos fascist rule from 1972 to 1986 as a golden era for the Filipino people.
It is our urgent task to carry out a sustained campaign of information and education to propagate the historical facts and truth about the Marcos fascist dictatorship because the most malevolent anti-national and anti-democratic forces servile to US imperialism and the local exploiting classes of big compradors, landlords and bureaucrat capitalists have succeeded in carrying out a counterrevolutionary campaign of violence and deception and in using automated electoral fraud in order to install the son and daughter of two tyrants as president and vice president, respectively.
