If the military wants to wage war with the New People’s Army, they should go to the mountains and duke it out with the rebels.
Problem is, Parlade et al are cowards. They use redtagging to target *unarmed* and peaceful activists, government critics, and concerned citizens.

@ErickDelRay’s comment also begs the question: What if what the military derides as “communist views” are actually mainstream democratic and nationalist views, that any Filipino could independently arrive at? Examples: land reform, national industrialization, ousting tyrants
So what if a Filipino harbors “communist views”? Which “communist views”? Are those views in fact communist?
Example: What’s exactly communist in land reform which makes landowners out of farmers?
@ErickDelRay opens an opportunity for national-democrats to explain their aims.

If military gossip vs Gabriela were true, that its existence is the handiwork of Reds, does it mean that the military are honoring communists as the country’s primary exponent of women’s emancipation? All it’s laudable efforts are done to promote Reds?
The educated must defend the right to think and to hold beliefs, and push back against the demonization of *ideas*.
We should be able to freely debate over ideas, including the idea that armed revolution is necessary or legitimate.

What are “communist views”? Are they communist talaga? Or are they actually democratic views in an otherwise undemocratic/anti-democratic time?
