Prof. Jose Maria Sison Speaks on People's War and Peace Negotiations Before Students of International Relations at University of Groningen, May 16, 2013

First of all, I wish to thank the Studentenvereniging voor Internationale Betrekkingen (SIB), or the Dutch United Nations Student Association (DUNSA), for inviting me to lecture on the revolutionary armed struggle being carried out by the New People’s Army (NPA) under the leadership of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP).

I am honored and privileged to be invited because your association has high prestige and is well known to feature as guest lecturers high officials of the United Nations, the European Union and the Netherlands, including prime ministers, cabinet officials, members of parliaments, senior administrators, high military commanders, outstanding professors and journalists.

I propose to discuss tonight the character and status of the people’s war in the Philippines, in relation to the social crisis and the policies of the Manila government, also in relation to the long running peace negotiations between the Manila government and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) and further in relation to the issue of including the CPP, NPA and the chief political consultant of the NDFP (myself) in the so-called terrorist list of the EU.

PAG-UNLAD, KASALUKUYANG KALAGAYAN AT MGA PROSPEK NG
TEORYA AT PRAKTIKA NG MAOISMO SA PILIPINAS


Kumperensiya hinggil sa Maoismo
Jan van Eyck Academie, Maastricht
05 Setyember 2012

Introduksyon: Kahulugan ng Maoismo

Muling itinatag ang Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas sa teoretikong pundasyon ng Marxismo-Leninismo Kaisipang Mao Zedong noong 26 Disyembre 1968. Mula 1995, upisyal nang ginamit ang Maoismo bilang terminong kasingkahulugan ng Kaisipang Mao Zedong. Ang paggamit ng termino ay bunsod ng pag-angkop sa lenggwahe kaugnay ng Marxismo-Leninismo at hindi sa anupamang pagbabago sa kahulugan o linya kaugnay ng Kaisipang Mao Zedong. Simula noong Setyembre 1993, sa mensahe ng pangulong tagapagtatag ng PKP sa Talakayan hinggil sa Kaisipang Mao Zedong, tinawag niyang mga Maoista ang mga tagapagtaguyod ng Kaisipang Mao Zedong.
