Abstract

The talk examines the attempts by certain cadres inside the Communist Party of the Philippines to seek military assistance from "fraternal movements and governments" so that it could move forward with its revolution beyond simple guerilla warfare. It follows this 1990s memoir by a former Party member who was assigned to acquire sophisticated weapons from a diverse group of actors who ranged from Palestinian armed movements to socialist Cuba and Nicaragua.
