Bøker av Jose Maria Sison

On Neoliberal Globalization consists of Jose Maria Sison's writings (articles, speeches, statements, messages and interviews) on the subject from 1972 (before the formal adoption of the neoliberal policy regime) to 2021. They reveal how the policy of neoliberal globalization rationalize the unmitigated greed of the monopoly capitalists. The adoption of neoliberal economy policy has brought imperialist countries to the worst economic and social crisis since the Great Depression. This crisis is becoming worse. And the imperialist powers and the business magnates cannot solve it because they cling dogmatically to the policy that has brought it about in the first place. At the root of the crisis is the internal law of motion of capitalism that drives the owners of capital to maximize their profits and further accumulate capital by minimizing the wages of the workers.

Intensifying Interimperialist Contradictions contains Jose Maria Sison's writings from 1989 to 2021 on the economic, political and military interactions among imperialist powers as they rise and decline and how these could develop and lead to interimperialist world wars, such as World War I and World War II. But the proletariat and people of the world are waging anti-imperialist and democratic mass struggles in the imperialist countries and on a global scale. There are revolutionary armed struggles persevering in a number of underdeveloped countries. All these are the prelude to the resurgence of the world proletarian-socialist revolution.

Sison Reader Series Book 21, People's Rights, Justice and Peace clarifies the relationship between the struggle for national sovereignty and civil rights. This involves understanding the structure of political relations and of political power in a given society. We learn that national freedom necessitates recognition and assertion of the fact of classes and organized groups within our society and within which conscious individuals exist and operate. These classes and organized groups mediate or bridge without exception the individual with the nation.

At the present stage of our national history, the single immediate purpose to which our people are committed is the achievement of national democracy. On this single purpose, all are agreed, irrespective of social classes, unless one belongs to a class aggrandized by the perpetuation of semi-colonial and semi-feudal conditions in our society. Unless one is a landlord or a comprador, one aspires to have his nation free from colonial and imperialist exploitation. Every patriotic Filipino wishes to liquidate imperialism and feudalism simultaneously in order to achieve national democracy. The relation between national democracy and land reform is very clear. We can achieve genuine land reform only if we, as a nation, are free from colonial and imperialist domination. In fighting for national democracy against US imperialism and feudalism today, we need to unite the peasantry - the most numerous class in our society - on the side of all other patriotic classes and we need to unite with the peasantry, as the main force or backbone of our national unity and anti-imperialist struggle.
