MSEditorial Requiem for the Left? Will the recent passing of Jose Ma. Sison, founding chairman of the Communist Party of the Philippines, lead to the demise of the mainstream Left?
Sison passed away from heart failure at age 83 after a two-week confinement in a hospital in Utrecht, Netherlands.
Sison established the Maoist CPP on December 26, 1968, or 54 years ago. Three months later, on March 29, 1969, he presided over the establishment of the New People’s Army that vowed to wage ‘people’s war’ against ‘American imperialism, domestic feudalism and bureaucrat capitalism.’At its height in the late 1970s to the 1980s, the NPA, according to the Philippine military, reached a peak of 25,000 regular fighters.
Sison was the leading theoretician of the insurgent movement and laid down its guiding principles and basic tasks from 1968 onwards.
