“Under the dictatorship of the proletariat, there will be no
human rights. Kapag kinalaban mo Communist Party of the
Philippines, kapag kinalaban mo ang interes ng partido at ang
interes ng revolutionary government, ikaw ay isu-suppress,
tatawagin kang counterrevolutionary [When you go against
the CPP, when you challenge the party’s interests and that of
the revolutionary government, you will be suppressed, branded
a counterrevolutionary]. Look at the history of some communist
countries," Victor noted.
“So hipokrito ba kami? I should say yes. Later ko na lang
narecognize na hipokrito kami nang wala na ako sa loob,
na pagdating pala sa dictatorship of the proletariat, ‘yung
mga human rights na ito, hindi ito ganoon kadali i-exercise.
Hindi papayagan ang mga rally at mga welga under the
dictatorship of the proletariat. Under the dictatorship of the
proletariat, kapag Communist Party of the Philippines na
ang naghahari dito, there will be total absolute suppression
of all political rights [So are we hypocrites? I should say yes.
It was only when I was no longer inside the movement that I
realized that we were hypocrites, that under the dictatorship of
the proletariat, these human rights won’t be honored. Rallies
won’t be permitted. Under the dictatorship of the proletariat,
when the CPP rules, there will be total absolute suppression of
all political rights],” he added.
