I'm a Marxist-Leninist born and grew up in the US-occupied Republic of the Philippines who firmly believes in AES, and a staunch Duterte supporter. And no, I do not support the CPP-NPA, they are Trotskyite pieces of s**t larping as Maoist revolutionaries.

Everyday I have to deal with lib bullshit from from my mother, she keeps asking me why I keep barking negative about the United States. Especially when talking about the elections. She supports Leni Robredo, our own Manchurian Candidate being rigged by US influence to win, so they can dethrone Duterte and enslave us again to Raytheon's whims for their sweet arms profits at our expense.

I don't know what correct words to say, it always felt like a trap question everytime she asks why I stan China. I know what to say, I am convinced of my beliefs, its just, I dont know how to explain them without damning myself into their trap.

I kept talking about how chaotic the USA is with all the civil disobedience from both MAGAts and California libs, especially the BLM protests, Freedom Convoy, J6, anti-vaxxer protests, and the riots and shit. All they just said to me? "Its part of the process of healthy democracy." Riots? Healthy Democracy? Are they fucking kidding me? They think being a dumpster fire for having a clown and later a sleepy old man for presidents is a healthy democracy?

I'm losing brain cells.

Wait, is Duterte decent? I thought he was a fascist? I know very little about the Phillipines so if this is just propaganda I heard excuse my ignorance.

Also, just a minor nitpick: the BLM protests were very peaceful, they weren't the riots they were made out to be by the media. They even did a breakdown and found that 93% were 100% peaceful. Of the 7% that weren't, the waters are very murky; many times the violence was purposefully provoked by militarized police and fascist groups, the latter of which often traveling from hundreds of miles away just to stir shit up and get a chance to get away with murder. There's also a matter of opportunists--you would have a scenario where a protest would be happening, and while the whole city was pre-occupied some unaffiliated apolitical criminal would rob a gas station, or some unaffiliated kids would vandalize a wall, things like that...only then such acts would be pinned on the BLM protesters, regardless if the perpetrators were protesters or even if such crimes took place near the protests or not.

That being said, BLM was, of course, quickly co-opted by the neoliberal order, and, of course, we don't even have an "unhealthy democracy" we don't have a democracy whatsoever, we have an oligarchy with a facade of democracy to fool people.

Please tell me how passing universal healthcare is fascist

What kind of reactionary government passes free college education?

Fascists do not grant autonomous regions to indigenous people.

it's mind boggling how easy people swallow imperalist propaganda.

I feel what you said. Everyone thought Duterte is a fascist because far-right populists like groyper scum praised him as their dream strongman elected by the people. Duterte is what they wanted Trump to be. They fantasize a Duterte-like figure to dab on "Da Joo elitez" in AmeriKKKa.

When in reality, he's more of a Stalin than Hitler. He's more of a Maduro without the ruinous economic incompetence than Pinochet.

always remember . and it doesnt mean these leaders aren't without flaws either. understand history, cultural contexts and then form an educated opinion on matters.
