Communique Of The 6th NDFP International Theoretical Conference On Fascism And Imperialism In The 21st Century In The Neo-Colonies

The National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) International Theoretical Conference on Fascism and Imperialism in the 21st Century in the Neo-Colonies was successfully held on May 22-23 in Kathmandu, Nepal. The activity is the 6th from the series of theoretical conferences held in the past years.

The two-day conference deepened theoretical and historical understanding of fascism as a class phenomenon rooted in the contradictions of imperialism. The conference also discussed the importance of militant mass movements in providing the counter-current against fascism. In addition, the conference identified principles and strategies that can guide such movements and democratic sectors of society in the struggle to effectively confront and defeat fascism. The conference drew lessons from the contributions of Lenin, Stalin, Dimitrov, and Mao, including the lessons and knowledge gathered from the Fifth NDFP International Theoretical Conference, with the assembly examining how fascism has historically developed and adapted in the 21st century, particularly in the neo-colonial peripheries.

The sharing of theoretical papers and discussion marked the conference, elaborating on the current-day manifestations of fascism as they arise from specific historical conditions in the neo-colonies. The conditions for the rise of fascism, the intense economic crises experienced by the working people in both the imperialists heartlands and in the neo-colonial periphery, were discussed.

Particularly, the material basis for fascism was fleshed out during the sharing and discussion. Imperialism, in its rapidly declining state, paves the way for fascism in neo-colonies. The financial oligarchs continue their drive to expand and carve their spheres of influence to ensure the steady flow of resources, unhampered supply chains, and markets to export their capital. This is being met with resistance from peoples movements and armed struggle. To suppress the resistance, fascisation or the complete creation of a fascist state with compradors and landlords, at the beck and call of imperialists, develops.

Fascist puppet regimes naturally arise to further the objectives of sustaining imperialism. Through counter-insurgency (COIN) programs developed by neo-colonial states and supported by their masters, activists, progressive groups and individuals, and liberation armies are targeted. They face illegal arrests, torture, psychological war, and killings. This is the case with the brutal logic and actions done by the Zionist entity against the Palestinian people and resistance.

At this historical and political juncture, it becomes strictly necessary to build the popular united front of movements, oppressed peoples, intellectuals, and other positive forces in society. It is critical for the proletarian and workers’ parties, revolutionary organizations, national liberation movements, peoples’ movements, women, youth, and all oppressed peoples to lead, mobilize, and educate the masses to fight against wars of aggression, and the economic policies of finance capital intensifying the exploitation, oppression and poverty of the working people. Mass mobilizations must be conducted against efforts of the ruling compradors and landlords to further erase the remaining democratic rights of the people. At the same time, narrow-mindedness and sectarianism must be avoided to be able to unite all people under the banner of pressing issues experienced by many today.

Two days of sharing and intense discussion marked the International Theoretical Conference on Fascism and Imperialism in the 21st Century in the Neo-Colonies, bringing together close to 200 participants, from 5 continents, from 17 countries, composed of proletarian and workers parties, pre-party formations, revolutionary organizations, national liberation movements and progressive organizations. The conference gave spotlight to 17 theoretical papers focused on the current iteration of fascism in the 21st century, with emphasis on its source and modalities in the neo-colonies.

The event is part of the NDFP International Theoretical Conference on Fascism in the 21st Century, exploring the following themes: 1.) Fascism in the imperialist heartlands and industrialized capitalist countries; and 2.) Fascism in the neo-colonies. The Fifth NDFP International Theoretical Conference focused on the first theme, the Sixth NDFP International Theoretical Conference gave attention to the second theme: 21st century Fascism in the neo-colonies.

The conference was capped with a synthesis of the proceedings, a tribute to the martyrs of peoples’ war and revolutions in the neo-colonies. The conference ended in a common voice, red salutes, honoring all the revolutionaries and the singing of The Internationale.

Political Prisoners Call For Accountability And Resumption Of Peace Talks In Wake Of Negros Killings By AFP Troops: Philippines

The killings of five alleged members of the New People’s Army (NPA) in a so-called series of armed encounters with government troops in Cauayan, Negros Occidental Province on May 16, following the Toboso massacre on April 19, further exposes the failure of government claims that the insurgency has been effectively crushed.

For weeks, the government through the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has maintained that all those killed in Toboso, Negros Occidental Province on April 19 were combatants. This claim has been called into serious question by the findings of a recent fact-finding mission conducted by human rights and people’s organizations, as well as by the earlier statement of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) that 9 of the 19 individuals killed were civilians while the remaining 10 were NPA members.

These accounts coincide with the naming of civilian victims that include students, a journalist, community organizers, and rural youth. Initial autopsy findings by a forensic pathologist also raised serious questions regarding the military’s version of events, including gunshot wounds sustained from behind.

The presence of student leaders among those killed in Toboso and Cauayan underscores the continuing resonance especially among the youth of the social injustices and conditions that have long fueled armed resistance. Their involvement directly contradicts repeated military pronouncements that the insurgency is already “dead” or has lost all political significance. Far from demonstrating victory, these incidents reveal the bankruptcy of a purely militarist approach that seeks to suppress the conflict through force while leaving unaddressed the conditions that continue to drive it.

These contradictions demand not dismissal but scrutiny. Video footage from the AFP’s own drone cameras posted on social media after the Toboso massacre—later taken down—showed that one of the victims, Roger Fabillar, was alive and in no position to give battle. This indicates that he was summarily killed instead of being taken prisoner.

Despite public outrage, the government’s response has been grossly inadequate. Public statements from defense officials have advanced the untenable position that mere presence in an area where armed encounters occur justifies lethal force or even criminal liability. Such assertions run counter to the fundamental principles of international humanitarian law, particularly the doctrines of distinction, proportionality, and precaution, which the Philippine government is bound to uphold.

Pronouncements from government spokespersons in the wake of the Toboso and Cauayan killings have emphasized military narratives but have not addressed the core questions: how state forces responded upon becoming aware of civilian presence in the areas of operation, what precautions were taken to protect non-combatants, and how accountability will be ensured in compliance with obligations under international humanitarian law.

These gaps are not merely procedural but reflect a deeper policy vacuum. Recent changes in peace process leadership should be seized to move beyond reactive crisis management toward a coherent and principled approach to the armed conflict.

We, former consultants in peace negotiations jailed on trumped-up charges, call on the GRP authorities to take the following urgent and concrete steps:

1. Support and convene a genuinely independent, transparent, and adequately resourced investigation into the Toboso and Cauayan killings, with full access to evidence and witnesses, and with findings made public.

2. Issue a clear policy statement affirming its commitment to international humanitarian law, including the protection of civilians and the accountability of state forces for violations.

3. Resume formal peace talks with the National Democratic Front of the Philippines. Despite the intent to resume peace talks expressed in the joint statement of the representatives of the GRP and the NDFP in Oslo in November 2023, the preparatory meetings stalled due to the GRP’s insistence that the disposition of armed forces be treated as the primary subject, relegating the roots of the armed conflict to the background while setting aside significant agreements already reached by the two parties in earlier peace negotiations.

4. Recognize that the continued detention of political prisoners—many elderly, sick, or held on manufactured charges—is inseparable from the broader question of peace. Meaningful confidence-building measures, including the release of political prisoners on humanitarian grounds, are essential to any credible peace process.

The massacre in Toboso, including those of civilians and minors, and the subsequent killings in Cauayan, underscore the human cost of a conflict left to fester without political resolution. The GRP must move beyond rhetoric and cosmetic measures that merely manage public perception. It must act decisively, transparently, and in accordance with its obligations under both domestic and international law.

Anything less perpetuates the very conditions that give rise to conflict.
