Posted to the PRWC Blog (Apr 5): Statement
of support for the Korean People against US provocations and nuclear threats

We, the International League of Peoples' Struggle, are in firm solidarity with
the Korean people and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and
support their current struggle in defense of national sovereignty and
territorial integrity against the war provocations and nuclear threats being
made by US imperialism.
We condemn in the strongest terms the continuing
US military control over South Korea, the constant nuclear weapons in US
military bases and aircraft carriers and the joint military exercises of the US
and the South Korean puppet government. All these violate the national
sovereignty of the Korean people, threaten the DPRK and run counter to the
desire of the Korean people for peaceful reunification.
The war provocations against the DPRK and the Korean
people have recently escalated with the imposition of further sanctions on the
DPRK by the UN Security Council upon the prompting of the US and the use of
joint military exercises with the South Korean puppets to show off US naval
vessels and aircraft capable of nuclear attack and to intimidate the DPRK and
the Korean people.
The DPRK and the Korean people in the north are fully
justified in rallying themselves, mobilizing their combat forces and people's
defense capabilities and reminding the US that it cannot terrorize them with
nuclear weapons because they have their own for the purpose of deterrence and
self-defense. They are demonstrating the futility of US nuclear terrorism and
their readiness to foil any attempt of the imperialists and their puppets to
invade the north of Korea.
The attempts of US imperialism to intimidate
the DPRK and the Korean people into submission have only served to intensify
their unity and fighting spirit, summon their limitless strength, expose the
limits of US imperialist power and vindicate the efforts of the DPRK and Korean
people at nuclear research and development for self-defense and peaceful
purposes.
The futile attempts of the US and its cohorts to terrorize the
DPRK and the Korean people are a major part of the US scheme to impose further
its hegemony over the entire East Asia, to direct and influence developments
not only in Korea but also in China and other countries in the region and to
entrench further US military forces in Japan, South Korea, Philippines and other
areas where the US has gained a military foothold in terms of military bases,
forward stations and visiting forces agreements.
But time is against the
US in seeking to perpetuate its hegemony in East Asia and the whole world. All
efforts of the US to overcome the people's struggles for national and social
liberation and to expand the global capitalist economy under the auspices of
neoliberalism have undermined US global hegemony and brought forward new
capitalist powers. In time to come, the contradictions between the
US-Europe-Japan combine and the China-Russia combine will intensify.
The
intensification of inter-imperialist contradictions will bring about new
conditions and new opportunities for the resurgence of the people's struggle for
national liberation, democracy and socialism. Right now, the prolonged crisis
of global capitalism is already generating the people's resistance and clamor
for radical social change in the imperialist countries and much more so in the
underdeveloped countries. The people's revolutionary struggles are bound to
bring about a fundamentally new and better world. ###

As I mentioned in an earlier post, Sison and the CPP are enamoured with North Korea. Ordinary Filipinos must feel reassured about the CPP/NPA now that Sison has endorsed a rogue terrorist state and its aquisition of nuclear weapons.
ReplyDeleteThe International League of People's Struggles is an anti-imperialist organization establised by Jose Maria Sison, the founder and chairman-in-exile of the CPP to bring together Maoist and other like-mined anti-imperialist groups under a single umbrella organization headed by him. A significant portion of the ILPS membership is comprised of Philippine-based CPP front groups.
