March 29 marks a historic anniversary for the Filipino masses and oppressed people around the world. While the Filipino people have militantly defended land and resources against oppressors for centuries, this struggle found firm ground and clear orientation fifty years ago through the re-establishment of the Communist Party of the Philippines on December 26, 1968 and the unification with the New People’s Army on March 29, 1969. It is because of the application of revolutionary theory of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and unflinching courage to adhere to its principles that the people’s struggle has not just endured but advanced like wildfire, improving and transforming countless lives. Anakbayan New York sends warm regards to all those fighting for the liberation and welfare of the Filipino people. We remember freedom fighters and commemorate youth activists who have devoted their lives to serving the people to their last breath, from the Kabataan Makabayan to Anakbayan to all those who give up their lives to wage armed struggle in the countryside. These fifty years truly show that the future is bright: the yoke of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucrat capitalism is breaking because the masses enthusiastically continue the long legacy of struggle with precision and clarity. As youth, we must always remember this tremendous history and continually seek inspiration from the words of our wise revolutionaries: “Only through militant struggle can the best in youth emerge. Only through the struggle can become more evident the constant replenishment of the fighting forces by the ceaseless flow of new blood.” – Jose Maria Sison LONG LIVE 50 YEARS OF REVOLUTION!

THE GUERRILLA IS LIKE A POET 1968, Jose Maria Sison "The guerrilla is like a poet Keen to the rustle of leaves The break of twigs The ripples of the river The smell of fire And the ashes of departure. The guerrilla is like a poet. He has merged with the trees The bushes and the rocks Ambiguous but precise Well-versed on the law of motion And master of myriad images. The guerrilla is like a poet. Enrhymed with nature The subtle rhythm of the greenery The inner silence, the outer innocence The steel tensile in-grace That ensnares the enemy. The guerrilla is like a poet. He moves with the green brown multitude In bush burning with red flowers That crown and hearten all Swarming the terrain as a flood Marching at last against the stronghold. An endless movement of strength Behold the protracted theme: The people’s epic, the people’s war." -Jose Maria Sison #DiMataloTalo #NPA50 #GuerillaIsLikeAPoet https://www.instagram.com/p/BvnJp2mBe0V/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n987zcdkfx2f
