But maybe the larger question we have to confront is Walter Benjamin’s challenge to writers living in times of emergency, such as today—with our country undergoing profound changes, disasters, tragedies, etc. while US hegemony slowly bleeds away: how do we seize the means of communication, the means of intellectual and artistic production from the control and power of the corporate elite? How do we expropriate these from the oligarchs and the oligopolies, from the parasites and plunderers of social wealth? I offered this challenge to the students in UP-Visayas at Miagao who inquired how we can defeat US imperialism and the terror of finance capital, and advance the national-democratic revolution of the Filipino “wretched of the earth.”
Bukod ito sa One Billion Rising. Pag-ugnayin muli ang pinagwatak-watak na bahagi ng katawan upang mabuo muli ang kalayaan at pagkakapantay-pantay na winasak ng imperyalismo't kapitalismong global. Usapang mapagpalaya, hindi lang usapang puk%, ang rebolusyong sumusulong, kabilang ang lahat ng nakikiramay ngayon kina Ka Leoncio Pitao at Ka Vanessa Limpag, biktima ng barbarismong kabuktutan ng rehimeng Aquino at US imperyalismo (Dulce 2015). Mabuhay sina Kumander Parago at Ka Vanessa, bayani ng lahi, laging buhay sa puso ng masa. SANGGUNIAN Barry, Kathleen. 1995.
