Elections by the reactionary state are mere intramurals of the different factions of the local ruling classes. Ferocious attack dogs from the AFP and the PNP aid the ruling few who dominate the outcome of elections. Thus, the people's army is left to defend the masses from sheer manipulation, coercion and strong-arm tactics that characterize reactionary elections.

"Kabaligtaran sa patakaran ng BHB at kahit na may paghihigpit sa ilalim ng sariling mga batas nito, aktibong lumalahok ang AFP sa reaksyunaryong eleksyon, gamit ang armadong lakas nito upang takutin ang mamamayan sa pagsuporta sa mga kandidatong tinatakan na nila bilang 'mga kaaway ng mamamayan' at 'mga simpatisador ng BHB'."
