Description:
From the Notes from Foreign Languages Press:
"Among the documents presented here are official articles published in the various outlets of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), such as the Theoretical and Political Journal of the Central Committee of the CPP and Ang Bayan, as well as texts that have had a relatively independent editorial history, such as “Stand For Socialism Against Modern Revisionism” (published by Foreign Languages Press in 2020).
The author of the documents contained in this book, Armando Liwanag (Jose Maria Sison), was the Secretary General of the Communist Party of the Philippines during the late ‘80s and the People Power Revolution of 1986, which, largely through the efforts of the Party and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP), succeeded in overthrowing the fascist dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos. Faced with the multi-faceted and deep ideological contradictions as well as “deviations and errors,” which were leading the Party, its front organizations and its military wing, the New People’s Army, towards a growing crisis, Armando Liwanag initiated a Second Movement of Ideological Rectification. In line with the first Rectification Movement launched in 1968, the Second Rectification Movement aimed to bring the Party and its members back in line with revolutionary politics and the scientific outlook that had guided the Party during the entire period of the Marcos dictatorship."
