Well, it depends, im not personally and MLM, but my understanding is that the Philippines’ Maoism is different. Again, I may be wrong, but I think they believe that MLM was synthesized but not by Gonzalo. Depends, still though.
Philippines Maoism inherits the ideology of the Cultural Revolution and the Gang of Four. Gonzalo did the same thing. 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.
Us poor Asian folks. They’ve trapped Sri Lanka, Laos, and Tajikistan in debt. My country the Philippines narrowly escaped a similar fate had Dutertwat not had stopped clock moment and pulled out of the deal.
The South China Sea is a complicated territory that cannot be answered through the use of sea territories only. Actually, in regards to the ‘imperialism’ of the South China Sea, China only has 8 installations within the South China Sea meanwhile the Philippines has 10. Vietnam has 25, Malaysia 7, and Taiwan has 2.
So your claim that China is actively imperialising the territory is false. If anything, Vietnam is the one that is actively doing it. But like I said, this question cannot be answered through territorial claims alone.
Cuba, alr. China, not a fan tbh.
You realize also that MLMs do not support Cuba either, right? They consider it “in the camp of Soviet social imperialism”.
How do you feel about Gonzalo?
About Gonzalo, I never heard of him since I’m to MLM, but I heard a lot of my camp hates him for something something reactionary.
Gonzalo is one of the top founders of your ideology.

maybe im just a dumbass, sorry lol. Still learning some the history of the phillpines.
I don’t really consider Cuba social imperialist the way I consider China as such.
How is china “social imperialist?” Who are they imperializing?

Gonna need a source on that bullshit.
Let’s see.
Using debt for diplomatic leverage is unacceptable even for the advancements of socialism.
Fuck, you linked Wikipedia, and a pro-US professor who seems to just write a bunch of anti china articles for the Western press.

China is not doing “debt trap diplomacy”, that’s the world bank and IMFs strategies.
Is China Imperialist?

Why are you not a fan of China?
Look at the shit they’re doing here in the Philippines and SEA in general. They’ve been ilegallly fishing a few miles within sovereign territory.
Worse yet our bourgeois “government” (read: big oil funded circus) is run by corporate shills, clowns, and fascists.
This is one reason, I have a few others
