General Uprising and General Offensive
To better understand the concept of General Offensive and General Uprising, let us backtrack a little further.
The basic sectors being laid down into Echelon of Alliances is the so-called subjective force of the revolution and is a vital element in creating the so-called objective condition of the revolution.
The objective condition of the revolution comes with the creation of a revolutionary environment thru the weakening of the economy as a social condition once the subjective forces are in place.
The communists always believed that the economic forces influence the political forces so does the subjective force influence the objective condition. The political implication is that those who hold the economy wield influence over politics. A strong economy means strength of hold on political power.
The Maoists maintain that economic class conflict would weaken political authorities that will ultimately lead to the seizure of political power. Hence, to attain the required objective condition of the revolution – that is the weakening of the economy – the CPP has been targeting the basic industries thru the mobilization of the basic sectors.
True to the essence of democratic centralism, which is a centralized leadership and a decentralized operation, the CPP has tasked every Regional Party Committee to target the weakening of specific economic bases.
The CPP therefore expects that the weakening of the regional economic bases would lead to general uprising and general offensive to seize political power.
The general uprising within the so-called white areas – both in rural and urban centers – has the following objectives:
• weakening of the state machineries,
• isolating the government from the people,
• creating a revolutionary conditions,
• infiltrating the government, and
• sabotaging of government programs.
On the other hand, the general design for general offensive from the so-called red areas in the countryside requires the building of the NPA from the national to local level that would result to the thin spread of the AFP.
It also prescribes the conduct of IPO works with the peasants for horizontal development, and with the indigenous people or IP for vertical development.
The general uprising and general offensive would come during the short-period of strategic offensive that follows the strategic stalemate.
