It was reminiscent of the success of t he First Great Rectification Movement from 1965 to 1971, which gave birth to the Communist Party of the Philippines, the New People's Army and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines as a consequence of criticizing and repudiating the major errors of the old communist party and the old people's liberation army.
Nagpaalala ito ng tagumpay ng Unang Dakilang Kilusang Pagwawasto mula 1965 hanggang 1971, na nagluwal sa Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas, sa Bagong Hukbong Bayan at sa National Democratic Front of the Philippines bilang bunga ng pagpuna at pagtatakwil sa mga mayor na pagkakamali ng dating partido komunista at ng dating hukbong mapagpalaya ng bayan.
