Rest in Peace, Comrade Sison (“Joma”)!
Comrade Jose Maria Sison, a founder and leader of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), passed away on December 16, 2022 at 12:40 PM GMT. We mourn the loss of this influential communist who helped instigate one of the strongest people’s wars of our time. We must remember his many contributions to the people of his country and to revolutionary communism as a whole. Like any communist, he was not a perfect person, and he seemed to turn rightward, but we still embrace him as a comrade who struggled for new power to the very end. We are sad that he is gone, but we must be optimistic that new leaders will take his place in the Philippines, and we hope to create a similar revolutionary movement in all the countries of the world!
The greatest Filipino of the past century bereaved us peacefully last night.
Prof. Jose Ma. Sison, founding chair of the Communist Party of the Philippines, passed away at around 8:40 p.m. (Philippine time) after two weeks confinement in a hospital in Utrech, The Netherlands. He was 83.
The Filipino proletariat and toiling people grieve the death of their teacher and guiding light.
The entire Communist Party of the Philippines gives the highest possible tribute to its founding chairman, great Marxist-Leninist-Maoist thinker, patriot, internationalist and revolutionary leader.
Even as we mourn, we vow continue to give all our strength and determination to carry the revolution forward guided by the memory and teachings of the people’s beloved Ka Joma.
Let the immortal revolutionary spirit of Ka Joma live on! [Source]
