REASONS FOR PKP’S DEFEAT
- IDEOLOGICAL WEAKNESSES
- POLITICAL ERRORS
- MILITARY ERRORS
- ORGANIZATION ERRORS
![Page 14: History of the Cpp-npa](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081412/544cbeffb1af9f59608b49b2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
a) PKP leadership was involved in subjectivism.
b) The LAVA leadership was criticized as having failed to grasp the nature of a proletarian revolutionary ideology and applied it on the concrete condition.
![Page 15: History of the Cpp-npa](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081412/544cbeffb1af9f59608b49b2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
PKP did not mobilized the peasantry as the main force of the insurgency. At the later stage, HUK units operated as roving rebel bands detached from its popular support.
LAVA erroneously underestimated the gov’t forces and planned for a two- year campaign prior to takeover.
![Page 16: History of the Cpp-npa](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081412/544cbeffb1af9f59608b49b2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A) The party failed to appreciate the strength of the AFP and launched several attacks which were initially successful but in the long run, the HUKs were defeated in the entire struggle.
B) The HUKs failed to appreciate their inherent strength as grla forces which could dissipate and spread the gov’t forces over a wide area if a nation-wide deployment was followed.

The main disability of the PKP was its failure to build an organization that had a broad mass character and one which was national in scale.

THE RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE CPPTHE RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE CPPThe rectification campaign resulted
in the re-establishment of a more militant communist party which set out to rectify errors, avoid past mistakes and rebuild the party. The ideological, political and organizational characteristics soon started to distinguish the re-established CPP from the old PKP.
![Page 19: History of the Cpp-npa](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081412/544cbeffb1af9f59608b49b2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
These are:
A. Ideology
Adoption of the Marxist-Leninist-Mao Tse Tung thought as its supreme guide to purpose its revolutionary goals
B. Political1) The party pursues an insurgency which should be identified with the masses. It should be a protracted armed struggle to be launched in the countryside to encircle the cities.

These are:
C. Organization
1) Formation of a communist party which is proletarian in character and armed with MLMTT as its ideological guide.
2) Mobilization of the peasants, workers and students to participate actively and on national scale in the proletarian revolution which is essentially an agrarian revolution.
3) Organization of the National United Front as the other weapon to destroy and isolate the government.

movement because of the hard lessons learned from the old PKP.
