Vietnam's Independence Day marks the nation's freedom from France. It's bonkers when you think about it that while the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) made progress -- the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPC) is still a laughingstock. Let's face it when Joma Sison died -- NO flowers were sent by the CCP and the CPV. No delegates from China or Vietnam came to pay their last respects to Joma's wake. CPP never sent flowers to Vietnam when Nguyen Phu Trong died either. After watching several videos on YouTube of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCYU) on YouTube -- I can't help but comment they look a lot like the CPP-NPA legal front called Kabataan ahem KAYABANGAN Partylist.
I found this strange piece of information when I Googled "Jose Maria Sison Vietnam":
The second factor was the rising tide of radicalisation around the world. Sison founded the CPP at the end of the year which had seen the Tet offensive in Vietnam, the student revolt in France which triggered a mass strike by 10 million workers, the continuing rise of the black liberation movement in the US, and much more.
Young people in the Philippines were part of that radicalisation. War in Vietnam was the fuel which powered the movement. The Philippines was involved in two ways—by sanctioning the use of US bases in the archipelago for the war effort, and by the dispatch of the Philippine Contingent.
In a sense, Joma was inspired by the Vietnam War. The CPP was founded on December 26, 1968. Ho died on September 2, 1969. In short, Ho never saw the first birthday of the CPP. The CPV was founded in 1930. The CPV became the dominant party for North Vietnam. Unlike North Korea -- North Vietnam successfully overthrew the democratic South Vietnam on April 30, 1975. Ho never left his troops and fought with them. Ho died on duty while Joma died in the Netherlands. A terrible irony and contrast between the two baldy men. One Communist party succeeded -- the other failed. Need I mention that Ho started as a TRUE PROLETARIAT while Joma was actually born to an AFFLUENT FAMILY? Ho was a chef on a steamer. Joma was far more privileged and probably only used Communism to enhance his PERSONAL WEALTH.
It might be fun to see the parallelisms of the CPV and the CPP:
- The most obvious are the youth organizations. The CPV's legal front is the Kabataan (Kayabangan) Partylist. The CPV has the HCYU. Both wear blue shirts, recruit children, and engage in civic activities.
- The CPP's armed wing is called the New People's Army. The CPV's armed wing is called the Vietnam PEOPLE's ARMED Forces. It's alternatively called the Vietnam PEOPLE'S ARMY.
- The CPP has the League of Filipino Students -- better called LAZY FILIPINO STUDENTS. The CPV has the Vietnam National Union of STUDENTS.
- The CPP has the women's rights legal front Gagabriela. The CPV has the Vietnam Women's Union.
- The CPP has its legal front the Alliance of Complaining Teachers. The CPV has its Vietnam EDUCATION Union.
- The CPP has its economic legal from the IPOT Foundation. The CPV has the Vietnam Institute of Economics (VIE).
What might never be noticed is how they both evolved ECONOMICALLY. The IPOT Foundation is still stuck with obsolete views. The VIE is using Doi Moi introduced by the the late Do Muoi. I bet Joma never read Doi Moi before his self-imposed exile in the Netherlands. It's safe to assume that the CPP still dreams of that Penoy Prayd Communist Utopia. Vietnam decided to accept FDIs instead of pursuing self-industrialization. What a big difference between the two Communist parties. No wonder the Philippines is left behind by COMMUNIST Vietnam!
Right now, the Vietnamese commies are enjoying the fruits of accepting FDIs. Vietnamese commies may be enjoying their Apple products. It's because Vietnam has an Apple factory. Vietnam has several FDIs that helped provide jobs to the Vietnamese proletariat. That's why Vietnam is succeeding despite being a COMMUNIST dictatorship.
