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.

    Given OPs main concern of Duterte being overthrown is being colonized again I’d bet they’re just happy he’s not selling out Philippines to the West and trying to preserve sovereignty

    Let’s not forgot you guys support Russia, Iran, Syria, Iraq, etc etc

    Weird to be calling out Duterte like this

      Well, my main concern is securing Duterte’s legacy. We dont have a clear cut candidate who would be basically his successor. Marcos Jr. is a beast of his own, being the son of the former dictator. Isko Moreno looks like he can keep Duterte’s line at first, turns out he’s a neoliberal parody. Leody de Guzman is basically an unmasked socialist, doubt he can be as tough as Duterte and has no realistic chance of winning. Though I must admit if Leody wins, pressure by the CIA and Western powers bullying him for being a socialist president of a US satellite might force him to be as tough as Duterte.
