"It is the Party's urgent task to lead the broad masses of the people to struggle against their intense bondage, fascist terrorism and foreign military intervention. We must steadfastly lead the struggle of the masses who have long been bled dry and oppressed, in order to defend their democratic rights and welfare and to make the fascist puppet regime as well as its imperialist master pay dearly. We must firmly link the struggle against fascism with the struggles against foreign and military intervention. We must form the broadest and strongest movement and united front to overthrow the puppet and fascist US-Arroyo regime and uphold national freedom and democracy."
