Hence it’s no surprise that Sison adopted the same maoist tactics as Gonzalo did in regards to theory. In terms of praxis, they were also both incredibly adventurist. Basically, Maoism in the Philippines is identical to the Maoism in Peru. We can draw a lot of parallels between the theories given by Gonzalo and the actions of the CPP. So even if MLM wasn’t synthesised by Gonzalo, he was definitely a big contributor to MLM theory, to the point where you would be a revisionist if you would denounce him.
