For note, i did notice quite some people larping as Philippine Maoists on various reddit subs and they are always coming with superhot takes like “Government is only a step from falling to our millions strenghts army and 90% support among the people, the only thing keeping them alive is Chinese help”
Or at least, i hope those are westerners larping because if those are real then holy shit.
dear god lol I saw that and I’ve seen similar with NPA twitter larpers being outed as amerikan Red Guards. It’s so cringe. Reminds me somewhat of when u/frgskncht tried to convince people on reddit that he had something worthwhile to say about communism in the Philippines (he was involved somehow or something) and it turned out he was a German living in Germany.
I am interested in knowing what the CPP and NPA are actually doing - do they have control over some land? Are they an inert lumpen party like the Shining Path has become? All seems to depend on who you ask, but none of them seem to really know the answer.
i think it is safe to assume that actual philipino maoist insurgents have more important matters than twitter shitposting to attend to
