i think one thing filipinos, or even the rest of the world, will never understand about protests is that the point has always been to paralyze the country to the point where those in power are left w/ no choice but to concede. the french seem to understand this better than most.
The liberal "leaders" of EDSA I and II literally failed its people and the mandate given to them, look where we are now. I hope the next revolution will be led by workers and students shoulder-to-shoulder and purge any opportunistic liberals trying to enter it.
>ruling class
>right
😭✌️
Also, the students are right in the end. The continuation of the neoliberal policies enacted during Marcos Sr. by Aquino, as well as the failure of liberalism fucked up the economny and our political consciousness to the point EDSA means nothing now
A good rule of history: if you find yourself opposing a student movement while siding with the ruling class, you're wrong. Every time, in every era, whatever the issue.
