RADI: In a recent publication of the Communist Party of the Philippines<br \/>(CPP) entitled &#8220;Anniversary Statements (1992-2017),&#8221; I found out that it<br \/>was only during the 26th anniversary of the CPP in 1994 that the term<br \/>Macism appeared (not in 1992 and 1993, as far as the said publication<br \/>is concerned). Previous statements, like the &#8220;Rectify Errors, Rebuild the<br \/>Party,&#8221; in 1968 merely mentioned Mao Zedong Thought, despite the fact<br \/>that Chairman Gonzalo of the Communist Party of Peru in 1983 supposedly<br \/>affirmed the universality of Maoism. Can you please enlighten me with the<br \/>CPP&#8217;s appreciation of Maoism and the seemingly delayed upholding of the<br \/>CPP of Maoism&#8217;s universality?<br \/>JMS: The adoption of the word Maoism, instead of Mao Zedong Thought,<br \/>by the Communist Party of the Philippines is a matter of transcription and<br \/>symmetry alongside the terms Marxism and Leninism. It is a reaffirmation<br \/>of the earlier CPP recognition of the great contributions of Mao (under the<br \/>rubric of Mao Zedong Thought) to the development of Marxism-Leninism<br \/>in philosophy, political economy, party building (especially the rectification<br \/>movement), the people&#8217;s war and the proletarian cultural revolution in<br \/>socialist society.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.26.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.26.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.26.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4>Link to the article:<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/philpapers.org\/archive\/IMBQIM.pdf\">https:\/\/philpapers.org\/archive\/IMBQIM.pdf<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author Regletto Aldrich D.
