Contribution of the Communist Party of the Philippines
to the 20th Brussels Communist Seminar
13 - 15 May 2011

On a global scale, the objective conditions for strengthening Communist Parties are favorable. The crisis of the world capitalist system keeps on worsening. And the broad masses of the people are rising up simultaneously in many countries in various continents to resist the dire consequences of the global crisis.

Communist Parties have the opportunity to strengthen themselves in an all-round way: ideologically, politically and organizationally. The ever worsening crisis exposes the bankruptcy and rottenness of the entire world capitalist system and points to the necessity of revolutionary struggles for national liberation, democracy and socialism under the leadership of the proletariat and its revolutionary party.
