From Ang Bayan: CPP CC Confirms 8 Components Of The Rectification Movement
Ang Bayan Ngayon | December 29, 2024
The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) Central Committee reaffirmed the eight components of the rectification movement outlined last year in its statement for the Party’s 56th anniversary. The Party leadership said the eight components of the rectification movement must be comprehensively implemented. Efforts must be sustained. We must guard against slacking, overcome inertia and resist regressing to previous practices.
“In broadening the rectification movement, we seek to ensure that it covers all parts of the Party and all aspects of revolutionary work.” the Central Committee said.
The Central Committee’s movement outlined last year has eight components. Three of these are study and re-education campaigns. Two are focused on summing-up of experiences and studying concrete conditions. The others are focused on comprehensive and all-sided criticism and self-criticism, assessing the level and capabilities of all Party members, and ensuring the implementation of education courses.
These are listed in the statement as follows:
1) A study campaign to thoroughly study and review the basic principles of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism
2) A study campaign to thoroughly review the Party’s Constitution and the Program for a People’s Democratic Revolution
3) A study campaign to review the documents of the First and Second Great Rectification Movement, Our Urgent Tasks and Specific Characteristics of Our People’s War, and documents of the Party’s history
4) A campaign to sum-up experiences and review previous summings-up
5) A social investigation and class analysis (SICA) campaign at all levels
6) A campaign of criticism and self-criticism at all levels
7) A campaign to evaluate the performance of all Party cadres
8) A continuing campaign to ensure full implementation of the Three Level Party Course
The rectification movement launched last year by the Central Committee aims to correct mistakes and overcome weaknesses and shortcomings. “These have arisen principally from petty-bourgeois subjectivism, mainly in the form of empiricism, in the Party’s ideological, political and organizational work,” the Central Committee said.
The Party leadership calls on organs, branches, and members to deepen and broaden the rectification movement. In this regard, it was observed in the past year that is not enough to proclaim the rectification movement and declare support for it. “All Party committees, from the center to all branches, must carry out self-criticism and rectification of past errors, fully imbibe Marxism-Leninism-Maoism to revolutionize their thinking and methods of work, and move forward with full ardor,” the committee said.
It said the success of the rectification movement will be measured with concrete numbers indicating both quantitative increase and qualitative growth of the Party, the revolutionary armed struggle, the revolutionary mass movement and the organized mass base.
“We are confident that by deepening and broadening the rectification movement, we shall be able to forge a stronger and powerful Communist Party of the Philippines and lead the people’s democratic revolution to even greater victories in the coming years,” the Central Committee said.
