1954 Debate: Teenagers from Philippines, India, Norway, UK. Subject - communism pt.1

You may also be interested in "The Huk Rebellion: Communism in the Philippines" amzn.to/2YBMJ9o #ad
Young delegates Johnny Antillon - Philippines, Peter Hudson - UK, Gunnar Aasland - Norway, and Vangala Ram - India, discuss the problem of communism within their respective countries. In a most lively discussion, the students look at the topic from numerous angles, but stress particularly how we can at the same time control communism and protect civil liberties. Whether politicians should deal with internal communism, and whether it would be advisable to outlaw the communist party are also considered. In this connection several related problems are brought to light: Would the party be more difficult to control if it were forced completely underground; Would there be danger of confusing liberals and other nonconformists with communists? An attempt is also made to define subversion, and several opinions are presented. Whether or not congressional committees are operating fairly and successfully is also discussed. One student expresses the fear that men may be unnecessarily hurt because of the fact that a committee may publicly suggest that he is guilty of some act, and yet is not empowered actually to establish that guilt or innocence. While much of the discussion centers, around the problem in the United States, several of the students describe what is being done in their own country about the problem, and the point is made that the solution for one country may not necessarily be the answer for another

[@amadoramos5040]

this is exactly what the capitalist system is doing to the poor of our society and this is why communism is controversial in our society because it offers an alternative economic sytem that might solve the problem of poverty. but the problem is that communists, primarily members of CPP-NPA (not all communists belong to communist organizations) are not willing to give up the armed struggle to achieve their goals which understandably will not be tolerated by any democratic government. the issue today is whether it is consistent with the principles of democracy to suppress members of communist organizations by force if necessary which the opponents of Johnny in this debate think is undemocratic. this is a thorny issue that might divide our society and can result to a civil war. we should really think deeply about the issue specially those who can influence government policies to avoid unnecessary bloodshed in our country.

[@psykiem]

The problem in the Philippines is that both demo-crazy and comfu-nism are inconsistent with their own principles in some way. Johny is a representive of a democratic country yet here he argues like a dictator, making hasty assumptions and generalization that anyone who joins communist organizations are automatically criminals, and stripping them the freedom to form and join organizations. But I cannot blame him because some communist groups in the Philippines really act like terrorists, who kill even the poor people, which is again inconsistent to the principles of communism. The politics in the Philippines is pretty fucked up. I think the current movement which closely resembles communism is Community Pantries, a money-less system, "you own everything, and at the same you don't own anything", so "you give according to your abilities, and you receive according to your needs". Although, I'm not pro-administration, but I say that they are right to call Community Pantries as communist, but not the terrorist communist, but the ideal communist. And it's amazing how this idea of mutual-aid spread like wildfire across the country. It just tells us something about who the true Filipino is. It's sad how many Filipinos in the comment section are so proud of him without taking some time to understand what he is actually saying. Fascist. Now, I don't really know who the true Filipino is..

[@amadoramos5040]

@@psykiem maybe we Filipinos are ideal communists in our innermost being. most of us just don't realize or accept the label communist as a designation because it was demonized by anti-communist propagandists and identified with terrorism in the mindset of the masses. i agree with you that the community pantry movement is a spontaneous expression of true communism. how i wish that this communistic bayanihan spirit does not cease and be creatively expressed in other forms even after the pandemic.

Not everyone uses tiktok, atleast not in India. Many kid use internet for their education too. Many kid in India uses Internet to become the engineer, doctor, administrative officer and many other things. Also, many people in past didn't had enough opportunities or resources to educate themselves. As far as i talk about India's young generation, our problem is brain drain since our government is not providing better social and financial security or infrastructure to our top minds & that cost the country lots of money since they study in government institutions like Indian institute of technology and AIIMS. Many Indian CEO from international companies are from IIT.

Basically Ram is less aggressive. He wasn't reacting to attacks. Johnny was better at that because he didn't take attacks sitting down. However, he went very aggressive on communism. I understand that his country was going through a communist problem but asking to outlaw communism is not correct. If that were the argument, the same can be said about Islam. Muslims keep maintaining that Muslims are together a brotherhood irrespective of their nation. Sometimes foreign agents (sponsored by an Islamic country) are offered shelter by local Muslims. By the same logic, Islam should be banned in non-Muslim countries. And yet a small criticism of Islam invokes violent reprisals and cancellation from all. Why can't we give the same dignity to someone who holds communist ideals?

[@eustacehendrix9659]

@@lonewolf.s.n.4083 The Communist Party of the Philippines, New People's Army or CPP-NPA in a nutshell is a terrorist group with a goal of overthrowing the government to get rid of democracy and capitalism to replace it with communism. If we remove NPA we are left with CPP which is no longer a terrorist group but has the exact same goal. How they will reach that goal is by bringing in the NPA part where they are freely recruiting (because of democracy) to this day in the Mindanao area. They can simply deny being part of the NPA while they are still training and all is well. Johnny's argument is recognizing the danger where there is evidently one so we can get rid of the problem. Prevention is better than cure as how the doctors put it. Even then, since multiple damages through terrorist attacks already happened in the past, getting rid of the communist party today is just removing the tumor which was left growing for decades. As I see it, the other's stance is freedom and democracy above all else even to the extent wherein the people and democracy itself are at risk.

Johnny(The Philippines) was right to say that an individual should be criminalized and be persecuted for his/her participation in an act of which any nation finds unlawful. In the context where Johnny said " the minute a man joins a society with a purpose of killing, and cutting your throat, he became a traitor to that society ", that is one of the many reasons that there is now a law against being a part of any terrorist group. I wanted to say Johnny was way ahead of his time and some of his opponents, but that would be an insult to their generation.

They have seen both sides and can see beyond western HOLIER THAN THOU PROPAGANDA . The Philippines obviously have a more American perspective because they were colonised by America.

[@pyp001]

Actually, Johnny is the idealist. He has one IDEA about communism and communists, and ignores the reality that there are different degrees and types of adherence and and belief in communism, even in the Philippines. Some people just believe in it philosophically and are not inclined to use arms or armed revolution for it, and it has often happened in reality that members of a particular party do things of their own volition, and not under the orders of that party. this is why there are splinter groups and expulsions of party members. this is also why, as the brit said, it wasn't considered a 'problem' in many European countries at the time, when there were communist parties who tried to gain power through elections and not armed conflict. The Philippine 'communist' Hukbalahap movement was essentially a group of farmers in favor of land reform, but started out as a nationalist anti-Japanese occupation group during WWII. It was the Americans who got nervous about them, and probably depicted them as more of a threat and more 'communist' than they really were. They just wanted their lands back from the colonial system that persisted. This is why it was the land grants that eventually made them surrender their arms, which shows that It wasn't communism per se they were after. Johnny's idealism borders on fanaticism and is definitely a result of the American influence and intervention into Philippine politics at the time. The fact that he would use the word 'evil', while discussing policy, indicates this as well. And the fact that he thinks that turning farmers into 'capitalists' is the answer, as if there were no middle-ground, displaying how mentally entrenched he is in the binary divisions of American politics, which is quite different from European multiparty political systems. Farmers wanting land-reform want the freedom to work for themselves, for their sustenance, and not necessarily for monetary profit; it is like the traditional sustenance-and-leisure based economy that could become a trade and barter economy, but certainly not an economy that makes investors even richer. The Norwegian is the realist, since he cites real-life incidents that make him question Johnny's points. Johnny would outlaw even the reading of Marx or any pamphlets on communism, which is basically thought-policing. And there is nothing more idealistic than that.
